Have you ever wondered about a Japanese sentence your textbook fails to explain? Do you feel unsure about the use of "wa," "ga," and "mo?" Or what the rules and meanings of words in their literary forms are? If so, you will find your answers in A Reference Grammar of Japanese, the most comprehensive and reliable reference source available. With an extensive 105-page index, the reader will quickly find explanations for particles such as wa, ga, mo, ni, and de; difficult nouns such as mono, koto, tokoro, wake, hazu, and tame; sentence extensions such as ne, yo, sa, yara, and nari; verb tenses, literary forms, negative forms - in short, everything concerned with the Japanese language. For the serious student, this book is indispensable for clearing up the ambiguities of puzzling Japanese sentences.

A Reference Grammar of Japanese (Yale Linguistic Series)

For use by students in the classroom or on their own, this two-volumes-in-one textbook incorporates a teaching method which has proved effective over years of practical use.  Each of the 35 lessons in the book introduces about 25 Chinese characters, or "kanji," until the characters studied by Japanese elementary school students are learned.  Drill sentences are provided to give the students extensive familiarity with each character in its full range of uses, including the essential vocabulary of the common compound words in which it occurs.  Several reading drills in "katakana" and "hiragana" are also provided.  The first section of the book introduces modern Japanese orthography, gives Romanized versions (showing accent and juncture) and English translations of the lessons and drill sentences, and provides vocabulary and grammar notes to the lessons.  The second part of the book contains the text lessons and drill sections in Japanese writing.

Over forty years in the making and written by one of the foremost authorities on East Asian languages, no other book can compare with A Reference Grammar of Korean in scope or reliability. This work is destined to become the standard reference on Korean for years to come. Concentrating on the Korean language as it is spoken in contemporary North and South Korea, this work is invaluable for students of modern Korean. Sections on the history of Middle Korean, dating from the fifteenth century, as well as detailed descriptions of the influence and use of Chinese characters and vocabulary, make it essential reading for advanced students, linguists, and historians. Chapters include: explanation of various romanization systems, historical overview of phonological developments, Chinese vocabulary and characters, number constructions and counting systems, detailed listings of parts of speech and their functions, description of verb stems and endings, and explanation of sentence construction and translation difficulties. Detailed appendixes include: lists of Korean surnames, place names, radical names, and stem shapes and a thorough index that makes the book easy to use.
