Description

A Handbook to Classical Japanese provides a comprehensive guide to understanding and mastering classical Japanese. With twenty-five years of teaching experience, the author has developed a systematic approach to tackling common problem areas in the language. The book focuses on verb-endings, presenting 670 real-language examples, including nearly 400 quotations that showcase discretely different forms. The Introduction covers key topics such as verb conjugation and the use of pseudo-adjectives, while the body of the Handbook features hundreds of examples to help readers practice their skills. Appendices provide additional resources, including information on translations into Western languages. Throughout the book, Japanese words are highlighted in bright red with their romanization in dark-black small capitals, making it easier for readers to review and reinforce their knowledge at both conscious and unconscious levels.
