| Summary: | A reference for readers who are already familiar with Japanese linguistics at a basic level and want to investigate it in more detail. Mostly Japanese and American linguistics scholars provide an overview and discuss current concerns and future directions of the phonology, syntax, morphology, semantics, language acquisition, sentence processing, pragmatics, and sociolinguistics. Because of the expansion of research beyond English and Indo-European languages since the inception of the generative approach to linguistics, Japanese has been one of the most heavily studied languages for the past three decades, and provides a testing ground for many new theories. Knowledge of Japanese is not necessary, but familiarity with modern linguistic notation is. |
