Words don't exist in isolation, to be placed willynilly in grammatical slots by a speaker exercising absolute freedom of choice. Rather, words come in neatly bound packagesin phrases or entire sentencesready to communicate an idea that cannot be expressed economically in any other way. For example, 'I wouldn't do that if I were you' is basically a set expression, allowing for little change. If a student of English wanted to express the thought behind this phrase, but wasn't aware that a means of doing it already existed, he or she would be forced to resort to a great deal of circumlocution before the point was made.This is exactly why common phrases are so important: they facilitate communication. Japanese, too, is rich in common phrases perfect for any number and variety of occasions. This book lists over fifty and explains when, where, and how to use them, providing alternatives for slightly varied circumstances and revealing the underlying psychology. While all this is done in an informative, practical manner, the book is also immensely entertaining. All in all, Common Japanese Phrases is a delight for students of Japanese at every level.
