The Japanese Language by A E Backhouse
This guide offers English-speaking learners a systematic overview of the Japanese language. It deals with the essential points of pronunciation, the writing system, vocabulary, grammar and discourse, and aims to complement Japanese language courses by bringing the various components of the language together in a general framework. The book also discusses practical issues such as the role of Romanization and the use of character dictionaries, and gives due attention to the informal style. Addressed primarily to undergraduate learners, the book will also be of interest to teachers and to other readers who wish to obtain a general picture of this increasingly important language.
