Issues in Japanese Phonology and Morphology

The book contains a number of studies in Japanese phonology and morphology, all analyses by leading scholars in the field. It presents an overview of the work that has been done in Japan and other countries and offers new solutions to long-standing problems.

In the morphology chapters, attention is given to truncation patterns and the possibilities for compound formation.
