Japanese Syntax and Semantics: Collected Papers by S.-Y. Kuroda (English) Hardco

Description: Japanese Syntax and Semantics by S.-Y. Kuroda These particles, mo, demo and sae may roughly be equated with a/so, or something like it and even, respectively, and are grouped together with wa under the name of huku-zyosi as a subcategory of particles in Kokugogaku, Japanese scholarship on Japanese grammar. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description A collection of articles written by the author over the last 20 years on a wide range of issues in Japanese syntax and semantics. Many of the papers challenge prevailing opinion and some were in fact instrumental in changing perspectives within the broader linguistic community. Some of the papers address particular structures in Japanese, such as passives, relative clauses and double-subject constructions. All the papers, however, go beyond the description to place those constructions in a theoretical context. This volume should be of interest both to students of Japanese linguistics and to specialists in general syntactic theory and semantics.

McCawley, University of Chicago Promotional Springer Book Archives Long Description 1. Two main themes connect the papers on Japanese syntax collected in this volume: movements of noun phrases and case marking, although each in turn relates to other issues in syntax and semantics. These two themes can be traced back to my 1965 MIT dissertation. The problem of the so-called topic marker wa is a perennial problem in Japanese linguistics. I devoted Chapter 2 of my dissertation to the problem of wa. My primary concern there was transformational genera Review Text Japanese syntax is one of the most exciting research areas in modern linguistics, thanks in large part to the stimulation that the field has received from the work of Yuki Kuroda.
