The Japanese language testifies to that truth. This book introduces a balanced mix of new and old words that reflect the singular beauty of the Japanese language. The beautiful words of the Japanese language are not--as some people say--simply old, antiquated terms. Discerning beauty in a language requires more than having an antiquarian's ear; it requires certain sensibilities and sensitivities. Only by submerging ourselves in a language can we perceive its splendid subtleties, and appreciate its true beauty. This book offers readers an opportunity to delve into to those nuances of Japanese, explore the language's history, and savor its unique beauty"--$$cBack cover. 001373599 546__ $$aTranslated from the Japanese. 001373599 650_0 $$aJapanese language$$vGlossaries, vocabularies, etc. 001373599 650_0 $$aJapanese language$$xHistory. 001373599 650_0 $$aJapanese language$$xSocial aspects. 001373599 650_0 $$aLanguage and culture$$zJapan. 001373599 650_0 $$aJapanese language$$xStyle. 001373599 650_0 $$aJapanese language$$xSemantics. 001373599 650_0 $$aReading comprehension$$xAbility testing. 001373599 650_0 $$aPhrase structure grammar. 001373599 650_0 $$aReligion and sociology$$zJapan. 001373599 655_7 $$aPicture dictionaries.$$2lcgft 001373599 7001_ $$aMorrison, Ryan Shaljian,$$etranslator. 001373599 830_0 $$aJapan library (Shuppan Bunka Sangyō Shinkō Zaidan) 001373599 852__ $$bgen$$hPL661.5$$i.N3513 2019 001373599 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1373599$$pGLOBAL_SET 001373599 980__ $$aBOOK 001373599 980__ $$aBIB
