Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Introducing readers to all key areas of Japanese linguistics, this book brings the theory to life through a range of real-world examples of texts and materials that students might encounter in contemporary Japan.
Throughout, the author introduces readers to linguistic notions, supporting them to further their understanding of the forms and functions of the language as well as increasing familiarity with social and cultural aspects via examples from manga, newspapers, food packaging, light novels and more.
Combining and building on the very best of Japanese Linguistics and Japanese Language in Use, this book covers:
? Writing systems
? Vocabulary strata
? Word and sentence structures and meanings
? Figurative language
? Language and culture
? Speech and thought.
It also contains a wealth of new examples not explored in the previous volumes, texts translated from English to Japanese and additional resources including a companion website hosting translations, quizzes and commentaries to the book's activities.
