| Summary |
This innovative and interdisciplinary book on style shifting in Japanese brings together a wide range of perspectives and methodologies--including discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, cognitive linguistics, and functional linguistics--to look at a variety of types of style shifting in both spoken and written Japanese discourse. Though diverse in approach, the contributions all reflect the belief that language use is inextricably linked to both context and language structure in mutually constitutive relationships. Topics covered include shifting between "polite" and "plain" styles, the emergence. |
