本書を推薦します
Japanese Linguistics is a broad-spectrum description of the Japanese language in a form that is both accessible and interesting to readers with some knowledge of Japanese. It covers not only phonology and grammar, but also the writing, sociolinguistics and history of Japanese, as well as reform and education policy. Japanese is considered in all its registers, ranging from mainstream language to sub-culture language, slang and jargon, and is significant in including many issues not found in other surveys of Japanese.
The text consists of short stand-alone units each on a specific sub-topic, which is introduced and explained in concise terms and fully illustrated with examples and useful tables. Linguistic terminology is clearly defined. Units are also comprehensively cross-referenced to each other, allowing the reader to browse as well as read sequentially.
Aimed primarily at the undergraduate, Japanese Linguistics is suitable also for the casual reader or for the more advanced student.
(Dr. Nicolas Tranter, School of East Asian Studies, University of Sheffield)
日本語の系統的位置，日本語の歴史，音声・音韻，形態論・統語論，文字の歴史，方言，日本の消滅危機言語の歴史まで，文献学，現代言語学の立場から，日本語についてありとあらゆる事柄が盛り込まれている。著者の知識たるや膨大で，古い文献から最近の文献までよく読み込んでいる。よくもこれだけの情報をこのサイズに盛り込めたと感動すら覚える充実の内容である。しかも，役割語，キャラ語，日本で見かける標識など現代の生きた日本語の生態を生活感ある例でよくとらえている。
日本，日本語に興味があるすべての外国人，日本に住んでみたいすべての外国人，英語で日本語のことを学びたいすべての日本人，英語で日本語のことを説明したいすべての人に本書を薦めたい。
（田窪行則，国立国語研究所所長）
