Description

Explore the relationship between language and Japanese society with this Routledge Library Edition. This book was a pioneering work that examines how language functions within advertising slogans and various popular cultural forms. By applying theories from anthropology, linguistics, media studies, and semiotics, the text works to demystify Japanese culture as it is often presented in Western contexts. Readers can gain a deeper understanding of how cultural phenomena, such as high-school baseball and noodle westerns, support specific societal ideologies. The book analyzes how these forms promote values like diligence, compliance, cooperation, and selflessness. This is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in the intersection of linguistics and media in Japan.
