Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Hardcover, vIii + 403 pages, NOT ex-library. Clean and bright throughout, with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Minor handling wear only. Issued without a dust jacket. -- For linguists and advanced students tackling the complexities of Japanese sound and structure, this volume delivers a rigorous, theory-driven exploration of phonological and morphological puzzles with lasting implications for language modeling and comparative linguistics. -- The collection is organized into three parts, beginning with phonological analyses. These chapters address both segmental issues, such as affrication and the representation of voicing in phenomena like Rendaku, and suprasegmental patterns, including extensive work on accent in Tsuruoka and Kyoto dialects and in compound accentuation. Theoretical approaches from Optimality Theory and Government Phonology are applied to solve long-standing paradoxes involving epenthetic vowels, heaviness at interfaces, and prosodic structure, with one study extending the analysis to sandhi in the Saru dialect of Ainu. The second part investigates morphology, focusing on compound formation through the lens of the Righthand Head Rule and challenging headedness concepts in the context of English compound truncation. It also explores the intersection of words and phrases. A final section provides contrastive studies of Japanese and English, examining differences in rhythm and the phonological representation of sC consonant clusters as complex segments. -- This volume stands out by capturing a specific moment of theoretical transition, applying frameworks like Optimality Theory and Government Phonology to classic empirical problems in a single collection. Its lasting value lies not just in the proposed solutions but in its rich presentation of dialectal and contrastive data that remains essential for testing new linguistic models. For researchers and advanced students, the book offers a crucial baseline for understanding the evolution of phonological and morphological theory. It provides well-analyzed case studies on accent, compounding, and segmental processes that continue to inform contemporary debate and serve as benchmarks for current analyses. -- Contents: 1.

Hardback. Condition: New. This book presents a number of studies which focus on the [voice] grammar of Japanese, paying particular attention to historical background, dialectal diversity, phonetic experiment, and phonological analysis. Both voicing processes in consonants (such as Sequential Voicing, or Rendaku) and vowels (such as vowel devoicing) are examined. A number of new analyses are presented, focusing on well-known data that have been controversial in phonological debate in the past, but also presenting new (or rediscovered) data, partly through the work of Japanese scholars that hitherto went mostly unnoticed, partly through new database research, and partly through phonetic experiment.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book contains a number of studies in Japanese phonology and morphology, all analyses by leading scholars in the field. It presents an overview of the work that has been done in Japan and other countries and offers new solutions to long-standing problems. In the phonology chapters, it focuses on segmental as well as suprasegmental issues, including voicing and tone, approaching these issues from a variety of perspectives, including Optimality Theory and Government Phonology. In the morphology chapters, attention is given to truncation patterns and the possibilities for compound formation. 412 pp. Englisch.…
