Beskrivning

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.

Recensioner i media

'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. The papers collected in this volume are a generous selection from 25 years of the most penetrating scrutiny that the Japanese language has ever received.' James D. McCawley, University of Chicago
