Title: Japanese Syntactic Structures and their Constructional Meanings
Author: KUBO Miori
Hardcover: Price:12360Yen
Paperback: Price:4120Yen
Contents: This book explores basic Japanese phrase structures,with special
attention to configurational positions of predicates. Among contrasts investigated
are activity vs.stative verbs,exhaustive vs.neutral interpretations of subjects,
two types of causatives, so-called ga-no conversion, and different interpretive behaviors of the distinct clausal types IP and CP.A central syntactic discovery is that Japanese functional categories, C,I, and D,each uniformly assign exactly one nominative case. A new view of the relation between meaning and form is developed, privileging the idea that meaning in essential parts is simply form. In particular, sentences are differently interpreted, in terms of Kantian categories,based on the head's structural position.

Author: Diane Blakemore, Translated by TAKEUCHI Michiko and YAMAZAKI Eiichi
Price: 3100Yen
Contents: This textbook provides an introduction to pragmatics from the point of view of Sperber and Wilson's Relevance Theory. Why and how can verbal communication be achieved, apart from encoding and decoding messages, by providing evidence for an intended inference about the communicator's informative intention? Diane Blackmore shows how every utterance reaches
at most a single interpretation with the interaction of linguistic meaning with contextual factors. Parallel to the analysis of a range of phenomena which are central to pragmatics, the relevance theoretic approach to utterance interpretation can be applied to the analysis of phenomena traditionally discussed in literary theory, including metaphor,irony and other stylistic effects. This translation includes translator's notes at the end of each chapter and the commentary on the original book Relevance Theory as as appendix.
