  • Prosodic Size and Rendaku Immunity
    J East Asian Linguist (2009) 18:179–196 DOI 10.1007/s10831-009-9044-1 Prosodic size and rendaku immunity Mark Irwin Received: 28 April 2008 / Accepted: 1 May 2009 / Published online: 28 July 2009 Ó Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2009 Abstract Research has shown there to be a strong relationship between the mora and prosody in Modern Japanese. Recently proposed, although not as yet inde- pendently evaluated, has been a prosodic size rule governing the well-known allomorphic phenomenon of rendaku, by which the initial consonants of non-initial elements in compounds may be voiced under certain conditions. It is claimed that this prosodic size rule flags a native Japanese noun as being rendaku immune, a condition for which no empirical verification has hitherto existed. In this paper the author will demonstrate that, although slight modifications are necessary, a prosodic size rule for flagging rendaku immunity is indeed a reality. Keywords Rendaku Á Sequential voicing Á Prosody Á Mora Á Japanese Á Allomorphy Á Morphophonology 1 Introduction Studies carried out over the past two decades have demonstrated a robust connection between the mora and prosody in Modern Japanese. If the prosodic unit of the foot is taken to consist of two moras, a number of phonological and morphological struc- tures may be generalized, including compound and loanword clipping, hypocoristic formation, accentuation patterns in compounds, reduplication in mimetics, and jazz argot. The aim of this paper is to independently evaluate Rosen’s (2001) claim that a prosodic size rule also governs the well-known allomorphic phenomenon of rendaku.

  • Vagabond an Analysis of the Role Language in a Historical Japanese Comic
    JAPANSKA Vagabond an analysis of the role language in a historical Japanese comic Hunor Andrássy Kandidatuppsats Handledare: VT 2014 Yasuko Nagano-Madsen Examinator: Pia Moberg ABSTRACT By means of analyzing the comic ‘Vagabond’ by Inoue Takehiko, which depicts the renowned sword saint MiyamotoMusashi, who lived during times of yonder (circ. 1584 – 1645) when the samurai society thrived, this study inquires into the variations of interwoven modern and historical Japanese role language, which has hitherto not been adequately studied. What became evident was the pattern and predictability the interweaving of the two role languages had. A large part of ‘Vagabond’ consists of modern Japanese, while the use of historical Japanese is limited. The pattern can be found in the categorization of the characters; those who speak only modern Japanese and those who speak a mixture of modern and historical Japanese. The components, which led to the results, were the characteristics of role language, videlicet, 1st and 2nd personal pronouns, as well as sentence-final expressions, be that particles, copulas or verb conjugations. In addition, some historical vocabularies were also found. Finally, the results developed Kinsui Satoshi’s theory of role language in Japanese by contributing and further inquiring into historical role language. 2 TYPOGRAPHY & ROMANIZATION In this thesis both romanization and Chinese characters are used. For romanization, a modified Hepburn system is utilized. In case of the proficient reader, the Chinese characters shall not cause problems, but give them unambiguous information instead. However, for those who are not proficient enough, romanized furigana1 are provided above the ideographic characters for reading aid.

Le dictionnaire le plus vendu au Japon. Dictionnaire de référence classique le plus souvent cité par les médias. Référencement du lexique selon le système gojûon (50 syllabes). Les définitions des mots sont données chronologiquement, ce qui implique que la première entrée renvoie à la définition la plus ancienne du terme recherché. Cette spécificité, intéressante du point de vue étymologique, ne facilite pas nécessairement la tâche de traduction.

Présentation plus claire et plus aérée, peut-être plus agréable à l’œil. Le Daijirin prend le parti de n’offrir que les définitions actuelles des mots qu’il référence.

Native speakers of a language often Accepted Date: experience difficulties when asked to explain the differences in synonymous words. They use their linguistic instincts to differentiate Published Date: the use of these words, or what in Japanese is called kan 勘. This paper raises the synonym of the verb 'go' which in Japanese has five words, namely omomuku 赴く, irassharu いらっしゃる, mairu 参る, kaeru 帰る, and iku 行く. This paper uses a qualitative descriptive method. Keywords:* Synonyms of these verbs will be observed based on the frequency of synonym, Japanese verbs, corpora, their use in writing and oral languages in two Japanese corpora. In usage frequency, meaning addition, the meaning components of these verbs are mapped to see the components range of use of each of the verbs. Based on observations on the frequency of use, it is known that these five verbs have differences in the variety of languages used, namely: omomuku have the lowest frequency of use in both written and spoken registers. Meanwhile, based on observations on the mapping of meaning components, the five 'go' verbs also show differences, namely: iku is the verb with the most meaning components.

  • Kokugo Dictionaries As Tools for Learners: Problems and Potential
    KOKUGO DICTIONARIES AS TOOLS FOR LEARNERS: PROBLEMS AND POTENTIAL Tom GALLY The University of Tokyo [email protected] Abstract For second-language learners, monolingual dictionaries can be useful tools because they often provide more detailed explanations of meanings and more extensive vocabulary coverage than bilingual dictionaries do. While learners of English have access to many monolingual dictionaries designed specifically to meet their needs, learners of Japanese must make do with Kokugo dictionaries, that is, monolingual dictionaries intended for native Japanese speakers. This paper, after briefly describing Kokugo dictionaries in general, analyzes a typical entry from such a dictionary to illustrate the advantages and challenges of the use of Kokugo dictionaries by learners of Japanese. Keywords monolingual; Japanese; kokugo; dictionary; learners Izvleček Enojezični slovarji so lahko koristno orodje pri učenju tujega jezika, saj pogosto ponujajo bolj podrobne razlage pomenov in pokrivajo bolj obsežno besedišče kot pa dvojezični slovarji. Medtem ko imajo učenci angleščine kot tujega jezika na voljo veliko enojezičnih slovarjev, ki so bili izdelani prav za njihove potrebe, pa morajo učenci japonščine uporabljati enojezične slovarje japonščine, imenovane Kokugo, t.j. slovarje, ki so namenjeni govorcem japonščine kot maternega jezika. Pričujoči članek - po kratki splošni predstavitvi slovarjev Kokugo - skozi analizo slovarskega članka iz takega slovarja oriše prednosti in izzive rabe slovarjev Kokugo za učenje japonščine kot tujega jezika.

  • Seeing Through Dictionaries: on Defining Basic Colour Terms in English, Japanese and Polish Lexicography Łukasz Pakuła Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań
    Seeing through dictionaries: On defining basic colour terms in English, Japanese and Polish lexicography Łukasz Pakuła Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań It seems that despite the undeniable fact that colour research has received considerable attention for centuries1 resulting in more than 3000 publications during the last 150 years (MacLaury 1997 after Steinvall 2002), there still exists a niche to be filled. There has been no or very little research regarding colour terms conducted from the viewpoint of (meta)lexicography2. The present study is meant to evaluate existing dictionary definitions of Basic Colour Terms3 (henceforth BCTs) from the colour lexicon of English, Japanese and Polish in order to detect any doubtful content which could be improved to equip the dictionary user with richer, more adequate information regarding the colour lexicon. The immediate aims of the study are to determine: 1) what definition types are used to define CTs 2) what prototypes extensional definitions point to when defining BCTs and how these relate to the data obtained from naive native speakers of the languages in question. To this end, two empirical investigations were conducted. The first one is devoted to dictionary definitions, while the second one is an experiment carried out among naive native speakers of the three languages. 1. The Research 1.1. Rendering the Meanings of Basic Colour Terms in Monolingual Dictionaries The research consists of two parts. The first part will investigate the way monolingual dictionaries cope with defining BCTs. The analysis will be conducted on the level of dictionary micro-structure and proceed from the form of the definition (definition type) to the dictionary content.
