Serafim bring a new dimension to kakari musubi (a type of focus construction, henceforth KM) research, incorporating Japanese and Western linguistic theories, and synthesizing Okinawan and Japanese scholarship. Specifically, they analyze still-extant Okinawan KM in comparative perspective with its now extinct Japanese counterpart, while also offering reconstructed Proto-Japonic forms. Major hypotheses on the origins and demise of KM with insight from Okinawan are also evaluated. In addition, viewing KM as consisting of kakari particle + nominalized musubi predicate, they compare KM with its structural analogs, such as (1) Modern Japanese no-da , (2) its corollary in Japanese Western Periphery dialects, and (3) English it-clefts. Finally, the authors apply iconicity-based analyses and grammaticalization theory, interpreting correspondences between deictic-origin particles, which are shared, their epistemically unique musubi forms, and their respective functions.Languages of Asia series ;Volume 11.Ryukyuan languageGrammarRyukyuan languageGrammar, ComparativeJapaneseJapanese languageDialectsJapanOkinawa-kenJapanese languageHistoryRyukyuan languageGrammar.Ryukyuan languageGrammar, ComparativeJapanese.Japanese languageDialectsJapanese languageHistory.495.6Shinzato Rumiko1464334Serafim Leon AngeloMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788564503321Synchrony and diachrony of Okinawan Kakari Musubi in comparative perspective with premodern Japanese3673938UNINA
