A Modular Theoretic Approach to the Japanese Writing System: Possibilities and Challenges Keisuke Honda Download (335.41 kB)
Abstract. The Modular Theory of Writing Systems (MT) provides a three-module model of the correspondence between the elements of a script and the properties of a language at the level of individual words. Characterised by its non-derivational linguistic approach, MT has the potential to develop into a general theory of script-to-language relationship in any type of writing system. However, it is currently focused on the analysis of modern alphabetic systems, with little regard for non-alphabetic systems. To examine the theory’s compatibility with a typologically wider range of writing systems, the present paper discusses the functional aspects of the present-day Japanese writing system within the MT framework. This system offers a good testing ground because it makes a mixed use of logographic, moraic and alphabetic scripts. The discussion highlights the possibilities and challenges of current MT and presents some proposals to increase its applicability to non-alphabetic systems.
