Summary: |
"Reveals a wide variety of semantic and syntactic factors (some of them not very well known to linguists working on English)
that control the usage of certain grammatical patters. It also shows what kinds of sentences the linguist working on a
nonnative language should check with native speakers of the language to prove or disprove his initial hypothesis.
So in a third sense, Professor Kuno's study might be called a textbook of field methods in linguistic analysis...
both descriptive and analytical... it will prove useful both as a basic handbook of supplementary reading
for 2nd year or more advanced courses in Japanese and as a source of material for students
and researchers doing work in Japanese or non-Indo-European linguistics..." CLICK THE "MORE IMAGES" LINK ABOVE TO SEE MORE OF THIS TITLE |
