Expressive Japanese Is The First Detailed Guide To Emotion Words And Expressive Strategies For Students Of The Language. Words Connoting Feelings, Such As Kanashii (Sad), Are Important In Everyday Japanese Conversation, But Communicating Emotions Effectively Also Requires The Use Of Expressive Strategies, Such As Nani? (What The Heck?), Yattaa! (I Did It!), Or Hottoite! (Leave Me Alone!).Introductory Chapters Examine The Characteristics, Constraints, And History Of Expressive Japanese And Discuss Linguistic Variations And Styles And How These Play A Part In Conveying Emotion And Empathy.
