I. Grammatical and semantic properties of mimetics in Japanese -- pt. II. Acquisition of mimetics (as a first or second language) -- pt. III. Mimetics and translation. 330 $aMimetic words, also known as 'sound-symbolic words', 'ideophones' or more popularly as 'onomatopoeia', constitute an important subset of the Japanese lexicon; we find them as well in the lexicons of other Asian languages and sub-Saharan African languages. Mimetics play a central role in Japanese grammar and feature in children's early utterances. However, this class of words is not considered as important in English and other European languages. This book aims to bridge the gap between the extensive research on Japanese mimetics and its availability to an international audience, and also to provide a better understanding of grammatical and structural aspects of sound-symbolic words from a Japanese perspective. Through the accounts of mimetics from the perspectives of morpho-syntax, semantics, language development and translation of mimetic words, linguists and students alike would find this book particularly valuable. 606 $aJapanese language$xOnomatopoeic words 606 $aJapanese language$xMimetic words 606 $aJapanese language$xMorphosyntax 606 $aJapanese language$xGrammar 606 $aSound symbolism 615 0$aJapanese language$xOnomatopoeic words. 615 0$aJapanese language$xMimetic words. 615 0$aJapanese language$xMorphosyntax. 615 0$aJapanese language$xGrammar. 615 0$aSound symbolism. 676 $a495.62 676 $a495.62 701 $aAkita$b Kimi$0892708 701 $aIwasaki$b Noriko$0892709 701 $aSells$b Peter$f1957-$0164629 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154871203321 996 $aThe grammar of Japanese mimetics$91993944 997 $aUNINA
