About this title

Synopsis

Japanese writing intermingles three different sets of characters, making it difficult to adapt to new technology. Unger looks at why the Japanese have not reformed their orthography and specifically the efforts at script reform that took place after the Second World War, and how and why that movement was defeated.

About the Author

J. Marshall Unger has chaired departments at the University of Hawaii and University of Maryland.
