  • Asian Pacific Rim

    Sun-Ah Jun, Sun‐ah Jun et al.CHAPTEROxford Handbook of Language Prosody2020

    This chapter describes the prosodic systems of Japanese and Korean, the two major languages spoken in the Asian Pacific Rim. It covers both lexical and post-lexical prosody of these languages, with the main focus on word accent and intonation. As for word accent, Japanese and Korean both exhibit various pitch accent systems ranging from those with multiple accent patterns to those in which pitch plays no distinctive role at the lexical level. The…

  • Secondary High Tones in Koshikijima Japanese

    Haruo KubozonoARTICLEThe Linguistic Review2019

    This paper examines the nature and behavior of secondary H(igh) tones in Koshikijima Japanese, a highly endangered dialect spoken on three small, remote islands in the south of Japan. This dialect generally has a mora-counting prosodic system with two distinctive accent types/classes (Type A and Type B), and displays two H tones, primary and secondary, in words of three or more moras: The primary H tone appears on the penultimate and final moras …

  • Kattobase

    Open AccessJoanne Ito, Junko Itô et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Annual…2019

    On the basis of extensive research, Tanaka (2008) develops a thorough and insightful analysis of Japanese baseball chants of the form kat to ba se X - X - X "let it fly, hit a homerun, X-X-X!"where "X-X-X" is a rhythmic adaptation of a batter's name (e.g., Kakefu (掛布) > kaa-kee-fuu). The system is of surprising complexity since the kind of rhythmic adaptation a name receives depends in an intricate way on its length. Tanaka shows that a set of th…

    Haruo Kubozono, Kubozono HaruoARTICLEThe Linguistic Review2012

    This paper discusses the phonology of tone in Koshikijima Japanese, an endangered dialect spoken on the Koshikijima Islands in the south of Japan.

    Open AccessHaruo KubozonoARTICLEPhonology1989

    The past decade or so has seen increasing interest in prosodic research, and remarkable progress has been made in the study of accent and intonation, both empirical and theoretical. Research in Japanese intonation is no exception in this respect, as evidenced by such works as Poser (1984) and Beckman & Pierrehumbert (1986), among others, which have developed theoretical discussions on many interesting phonological issues on the basis of their own…

  • The Mora and Syllable Structure in Japanese

    Open AccessHaruo KubozonoARTICLELanguage and Speech1989Cited by: 13References: 8

    The goal of this paper is to demonstrate the role and reality of the linguistic unit called ‘mora’ in Japanese through analysis of several types of speech error and other linguistic phenomena. It is shown that the mora is an indispensable notion for the description and generalization of the patterns underlying speech errors in Japanese. Specifically, analysis of blend errors suggests that mora boundaries are the most common switch point in Japane…
