| 6. | Description | Abstract | This chapter examines how the Japanese, having adopted Chinese script during their encounter with Chinese civilization, then made a shift to adapt it to a language that was unrelated to Chinese. However, unlike the Koreans, the Japanese never made a clean break to a different kind of script with the result that Japanese is complex, mixed system, partly logographic and partly phonographic. |
