An Introduction to Japanese Linguistics (Blackwell Textbooks in Linguistics ; 10)

Rating:
Summary: A Comprehensive Guide
Review: Tsujimura has made this introductory guide to Japanese Linguistics a very easy reader, especially when one has basic Japanese language knowledge. The exercises at the end of each chapter are simple revision tools for the contents covered.

Though the book is not well structured theory-wise, it provides a practical overview of the various fields involved in Japanese Linguistics, particularly Syntax, which takes up a third of the book's thickness.

I recommend the book as a comprehensive guide for beginners in this field.
