商品の説明

The Japan Style Sheet is an authoritative guide that will assist anyone working on English-language publications about Japan or containing references to Japanese culture, art, business, history, and politics. Aimed primarily at the needs of editors and writers without specialized knowledge, it contains clear advice and information, as well as several appendices that will be useful to translators and researchers in Japanese studies. Problem areas discussed include methods of romanizing Japanese; word formation; "spelling" Japanese words; methods of indicating long vowels, apostrophes, and other aids to a proper reading of romanized Japanese; capitalization; plurals; and bibliographic style. Reasons and alternatives are given throughout to enable writers and editors to make stylistic decisions based on their intended audiences.
