Japanese Syntax and Semantics: Collected Papers (Studies in Natural Language and Linguistic Theory) - Softcover
Synopsis
This volume is a collection of articles the author has written over the last 20 years on a wide-ranging number of issues in Japanese syntax and semantics. Many of the papers challenged prevailing opinions, and some in fact were 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 an interesting theoretical context.
The volume will be of interest both to students of Japanese linguistics and to specialists in general syntactic theory and semantics.

Review
`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
