  • The Degree of the Speaker's Negative Attitude in a Goal-Shifting
    In Christopher Brown and Qianping Gu and Cornelia Loos and Jason Mielens and Grace Neveu (eds.), Proceedings of the 15th Texas Linguistics Society Conference, 150-169. 2015. The degree of the speaker’s negative attitude in a goal-shifting comparison Osamu Sawada∗ Mie University [email protected] Abstract The Japanese comparative expression sore-yori ‘than it’ can be used for shifting the goal of a conversation. What is interesting about goal-shifting via sore-yori is that, un- like ordinary goal-shifting with expressions like tokorode ‘by the way,’ using sore-yori often signals the speaker’s negative attitude toward the addressee. In this paper, I will investigate the meaning and use of goal-shifting comparison and consider the mecha- nism by which the speaker’s emotion is expressed. I will claim that the meaning of the pragmatic sore-yori conventionally implicates that the at-issue utterance is preferable to the previous utterance (cf. metalinguistic comparison (e.g. (Giannakidou & Yoon 2011))) and that the meaning of goal-shifting is derived if the goal associated with the at-issue utterance is considered irrelevant to the goal associated with the previous utterance. Moreover, I will argue that the speaker’s negative attitude is shown by the competition between the speaker’s goal and the hearer’s goal, and a strong negativity emerges if the goals are assumed to be not shared. I will also compare sore-yori to sonna koto-yori ‘than such a thing’ and show that sonna koto-yori directly expresses a strong negative attitude toward the previous utterance.

  • Writing As Aesthetic in Modern and Contemporary Japanese-Language Literature
    At the Intersection of Script and Literature: Writing as Aesthetic in Modern and Contemporary Japanese-language Literature Christopher J Lowy A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2021 Reading Committee: Edward Mack, Chair Davinder Bhowmik Zev Handel Jeffrey Todd Knight Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Asian Languages and Literature ©Copyright 2021 Christopher J Lowy University of Washington Abstract At the Intersection of Script and Literature: Writing as Aesthetic in Modern and Contemporary Japanese-language Literature Christopher J Lowy Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Edward Mack Department of Asian Languages and Literature This dissertation examines the dynamic relationship between written language and literary fiction in modern and contemporary Japanese-language literature. I analyze how script and narration come together to function as a site of expression, and how they connect to questions of visuality, textuality, and materiality. Informed by work from the field of textual humanities, my project brings together new philological approaches to visual aspects of text in literature written in the Japanese script. Because research in English on the visual textuality of Japanese-language literature is scant, my work serves as a fundamental first-step in creating a new area of critical interest by establishing key terms and a general theoretical framework from which to approach the topic. Chapter One establishes the scope of my project and the vocabulary necessary for an analysis of script relative to narrative content; Chapter Two looks at one author’s relationship with written language; and Chapters Three and Four apply the concepts explored in Chapter One to a variety of modern and contemporary literary texts where script plays a central role.

A new Japanese Industrial Standard, JIS X0213 is being developed in Japan, and it will be published by the end of this year. The new standard will include all characters in this proposal, so the adoption of them is very important in the view to keep upward compatibility with the Japanese products. Twenty extended KATAKANAs are used to describe the Language of AINU, Japanese aborigine.

  • A Discovery in the History of Research on Japanese Kana Orthography: Ishizuka Tatsumaro's Kanazukai Oku No Yamamichi
    国立国語研究所学術情報リポジトリ A discovery in the history of research on Japanese kana orthography: Ishizuka Tatsumaro's Kanazukai oku no yamamichi 著者(英) Shinkichi HASHIMOTO 翻訳者(英) Timothy J. Vance 校正者(英) Wayne Lawrence journal or Pioneering Linguistic Works in Japan publication title page range 1-24 year 2019-09 URL http://doi.org/10.15084/00002233 HASHIMOTO Pioneering Linguistic Works in Japan A Discovery in the History of Research on Japanese Kana Orthography: Ishizuka Tatsumaro’s Kanazukai oku no yamamichi HASHIMOTO Shinkichi 1 Two Aspects of Kana Orthography Research Kana orthography refers to the way of using kana [i.e., Chinese characters used to write Japanese syllables phonographically, including both the unabbreviated characters (man’yōgana), used mostly in the Nara period (710–794) and early in the Heian Period (794–1185), and the abbreviated forms (hiragana and katakana) that first appeared around 900]. When it comes to using あ to represent the sound “a” or か to represent the sound “ka,” things are clear and simple, and no doubts arise. It is only when two or more different letters correspond to the same sound, as in the case of い [i] and ゐ [wi] [both pronounced i today] or お [o] and を [wo] [both pronounced o today], that doubts arise as to which letter to use. Thus, we can say that problems of kana orthography are actually just problems of choosing which letter to use. Kana orthography problems have two aspects. On the one hand, there is the question of whether or not letters that represent the same sound (い [i] and ゐ [wi] [for i], お [o] and を [wo] [for o], etc.) should be distinguished, and if so, which letter should be used when.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract of Thesis In the thesis I test the hypothesis that Late Old Japanese (LOJ) is not, as has been claimed by a number of scholars, a language that is innately “vague”, but that it is capable of conveying meaning clearly. To prove this I analyse the text of the Genji Monogatari in a number of ways. I study the usage of honorifics in the text and the relationship between honorific usage and court rank. I show that honorific usage very often obviates the need for grammatical subjects and objects, and where honorifics or the context are not sufficient, the author introduces subjects to clarify the meaning of the text. Furthermore, I demonstrate that over brief sections of text, one character might be “tagged” with a particular honorific in order to identify them.

Kess, Supervisor (Department of Linguistics) Dr. Hua Lin, Departmental Member (Department of Linguistics) Dr. Tadao Miyamoto, Departmental Member (Department of Linguistics) Dr. Hiroko Noro, Outside Member (Department of Pacific and Asian Studies) ABSTRACT [Contemporary Japanese possesses three major types of words, (1) kango (Sino-Japanese words), (2) wago (Japanese native words), and (3) gairaigo (loanwords), and each word type is associated with three types of scripts, (1) kanji (Chinese characters), (2) hiragana, and (3) katakana.

    Rules for diplomatic transcription (honkoku 翻刻) 1. The use of hiragana (phonetic syllabary) and kanji (sinographic, logographic characters) mirrors the original; the only difference is that the transcription employs a standard modernised script (one variant for each hiragana) and is not cursive. 2. Whenever possible, the transcribed text is presented in keeping with the layout of the original—in other words, respecting the absence of spacing between words or paragraphs. 3. The original is not punctuated and this is reflected in the transcription. 4. Dakuten (voicing marks) follow the original. 5. The diacritic mark is rendered with the hiragana より(yori). 6. The variants of the syllables mi, ha and ni (ミ・ハ・ニ) that appear like katakana (phonetic syllabary) forms are converted into hiragana (み・は・に). The only exception is when ni 二 is included in smaller font and on the right of the running text. In that case, it is transcribed in katakana ニ. 9. Mama (ママ) in furigana is used with the same meaning as [sic]. 10. Waka poems are occasionally introduced in the original with the diacritic mark 〽 and I have reproduced this accordingly. 11. Physical damage in the original text is indicated with □. If a reading is possible, it is indicated on the right in brackets followed by カ. Several considerations led to the choice of a diplomatic transcription over an edited edition (kōtei 校訂), which would have enhanced readability by substituting, for example, hiragana with kanji or by adding punctuation. First, the scholar of Japanese Studies untrained in early modern palaeography is able to enjoy the text in a format that attempts to approximate the original and to appreciate how the Japanese writing system was utilised to address a broad audience—children included—with minimal literacy skills (i.e.
