ISBN: 0521646146 ISBN-13: 9780521646147 Publisher: Cambridge University Press OUR PRICE: $55.09 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: December 2000 Annotation: This is a guide to Japanese usage for students who have acquired the basics of the language and wish to extend their knowledge. Unlike conventional grammars, it gives special attention to those areas of vocabulary and grammar that cause the most difficulty to English speakers. Careful consideration is given throughout to questions of style, register, and politeness, and there are sections on social rituals such as greetings, introductions and apologies. Clear, readable and easy to consult, with two indexes (Japanese and English), this is an essential reference for learners seeking access to the finer nuances of the Japanese language. |
