Introducing readers to all key areas of Japanese linguistics, this book brings the theory to life through a range of real-world examples of texts and materials that students might encounter in contemporary Japan. Throughout, the author introduces readers to linguistic notions, supporting them to further their understanding of the forms and functions of the language as well as increasing familiarity with social and cultural aspects via examples from films, anime, newspapers, food packaging and more.

Combining and building on the very best of Japanese Linguistics and Japanese Language in Use, this book covers:

· Writing systems
· Japanese vocabulary
· Word and sentence structures and meanings
· Figurative language
· Language and culture
· Speech and thought.

It also contains a wealth of new examples not explored in the previous volumes, texts translated from English to Japanese to demonstrate how translators can interpret language differently, and a variety of additional resources, including quizzes and exercises, a glossary, and a companion website hosting even more real-world examples to explore.
