Description

Explore a groundbreaking linguistic investigation with The Old Japanese Complement System: A Synchronic and Diachronic Study. This academic work by Janick Wrona provides the first large-scale analysis of Old Japanese syntax, focusing specifically on eighth-century Japanese. By examining the extant text corpus, this study offers a detailed account of complement clauses and related constructions. This volume serves two primary goals for researchers and students of Asian languages. First, it provides a synchronic description of the various types of complementation used during this historical period and the system they belong to. Second, it addresses important diachronic questions regarding the origins of the Old Japanese complement system and the broader pre-history of complementation in the Japanese language. This is an essential resource for anyone studying the historical development and structural foundations of Japanese linguistics.
