The Cambridge Handbook of Japanese Linguistics by Yoko Hasegawa
Designed to serve as a comprehensive, yet concise, reference book for researchers interested in the Japanese language and in typological studies of language in general, this handbook explores the diverse and intriguing characteristics of Japanese in comparison with English and other European languages.
'The Japanese language is of great interest not only because of the unique position Japan holds in the world, by virtue of her history, culture, science and technologyIt also has great importance because it has attracted the attention of many distinguished linguists, whose publications on it over many decades have influenced the development of linguistic theory itself. This Handbook is a balanced and comprehensive anthology of the many achievements of the field, presented by leading experts. It is much to be welcomed by Japanologists as well as by linguists at large.' William Shiyuan Wang, Chair Professor of Language and Cognitive Sciences, Hong Kong Polytechnic University
