Abstract

Japanese writing intermingles three different sets of characters, making it difficult to adapt to new technology. This book looks at why the Japanese have not reformed their orthography and why the efforts at script reform that took place after World War II were defeated.

Abstract

In this latest book, J. Marshall Unger exposes the historical, scientific, cultural, and practical flaws accompanying the widespread belief that Chinese characters embody pure, language-less meaning. Whether one is interested in Chinese characters from the standpoint of language, literature, semiotics, psychology, history, cultural studies, or computers, Ideogram contains new ideas and insights that are sure to challenge preconceptions and provoke thought.

Abstract

The author establishes a theory of dialect divergence that avoids the problems caused by assumptions commonly encountered in Japanese historical dialectology. It explains why Japanese is best understood as a restricted tone language, and why mergers in the large tone classes of nouns and verbs are especially reliable markers of dialect divergence.
