The Historical Development of Japanese Tone: From Proto-Japanese to the Modern Dialects. the Introduction and Adaptation of the Middle Chinese Tones i
ISBN: 9783447062824 / Angielski / Miękka / 600 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Ramsey proposed an alternative theory, which regards the peripheral Tokyo type dialects as archaic. Even though this theory offered a convincing explanation to many problems that remained unsolved in the prevalent theory, it failed to find acceptance. Part I of Elisabeth de Boer's...
