Abstract:

This book presents a number of studies which focus on the [voice] grammarof Japanese, paying particular attention to historical background,dialectal diversity, phonetic experiment, and phonological analysis. Bothvoicing processes in consonants (such as Sequential Voicing, or Rendaku)and vowels (such as vowel devoicing) are examined.

A number of new analyses are presented, focusing on well-known data thathave been controversial in phonological debate in the past, but alsopresenting new (or rediscovered) data, partly through the work of Japanesescholars that hitherto went mostly unnoticed, partly through new databaseresearch, and partly through phonetic experiment.

Jeroen van de Weijer is Lecturer in linguistics at Leiden University, TheNetherlands. He specialises in phonological theory, especially with regardto segmental representation and with a keen interest in laryngeal features.

Kensuke Nanjo is Associate Professor of Phonetics at St. Andrew'sUniversity in Japan. His interests include English and Japanese phoneticsand phonology, lexicography, accents of English, and the acquisition ofEnglish by Japanese learners.

Tetsuo Nishihara is Lecturer of English at the Miyagi University ofEducation, with a particular interest in English and Japanese phonology,especially with regard to prosodic phonology and phonology-morphologyintereaction.
