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.

Short description:
A comprehensive yet concise survey of Japanese linguistics, from leading scholars in the field.
MoreLong description:
The linguistic study of Japanese, with its rich syntactic and phonological structure, complex writing system, and diverse sociohistorical context, is a rapidly growing research area. This book, designed to serve as a concise reference for researchers interested in the Japanese language and in typological studies of language in general, explores diverse characteristics of Japanese that are particularly intriguing when compared with English and other European languages. It pays equal attention to the theoretical aspects and empirical phenomena from theory-neutral perspectives, and presents necessary theoretical terms in clear and easy language. It consists of five thematic parts including sound system and lexicon, grammatical foundation and constructions, and pragmatics/sociolinguistics topics, with chapters that survey critical discussions arising in Japanese linguistics. The Cambridge Handbook of Japanese Linguistics will be welcomed by general linguists, and students and scholars working in linguistic typology, Japanese language, Japanese linguistics and Asian Studies.
'The Japanese language is of great interest not only because of the unique position Japan holds in the world, by virtue of her history, culture, science and technology. It also has great importance because it has attracted the attention of many distinguished linguists, whose publications on it over many decades have influenced the development of linguistic theory itself. This Handbook is a balanced and comprehensive anthology of the many achievements of the field, presented by leading experts. It is much to be welcomed by Japanologists as well as by linguists at large.' William Shiyuan Wang, Chair Professor of Language and Cognitive Sciences, Hong Kong Polytechnic University
