Description

This comprehensive academic study presents the first large-scale investigation of Old Japanese syntax, focusing on eighth-century Japanese complement clauses and related constructions. Based on an exhaustive examination of the extant text corpus, the work delivers a detailed synchronic description of complementation types found during this period and their place within the broader system. The study also addresses critical diachronic questions regarding the origin of the Old Japanese complement system and the pre-history of complementation in Japanese. Published by Brill as part of the Languages of Asia series, this scholarly resource provides essential insights for linguists, Japanese language researchers, and academics studying historical syntax and language evolution in East Asia.
