Product Description

Modern Japanese Grammar is an innovative reference guide to Japanese, combining traditional and function-based grammar in a single volume.
The Grammar is divided into two parts. Part A covers traditional grammatical categories such as word order, nouns, verbs and adjectives. Part B is carefully organized around language functions and notions such as:
* giving and seeking information
* describing processes and results
* expressing likes, dislikes and preferences.
With a strong emphasis on contemporary usage, all grammar points and functions are richly illustrated with examples. Main features of the Grammar include:
* use of kanji, kana, transliteration and English translations throughout
* clear explanations
* emphasis on areas of particular difficulty for learners of Japanese
* an accompanying website (www.languages.routledge.com) with supplementary exercises.
This is the ideal reference grammar for learners ofJapanese at all levels, from beginner to advanced. No prior knowledge of grammatical terminology is assumed and a glossary of grammatical terms is provided.
This Grammar is complemented by the Modern Japanese Grammar Workbook (ISBN 0-415-27093-6) which features related exercises and activities.
