Book List in English
We are very happy to introduce the English version of our Home Page. We
started our Japanese Home Page last June, becoming the first publisher of
linguistics books in Japan to have a Home Page. As an academic publisher,
we were second only to Tokyo University Press.
From the establishment of our company in 1990, we have concentrated on the
publication of books on linguistics, Japanese, English, and related topics.
In that short time, we have already published over 60 books in Japan, and
were mentioned by Professor Jacob Mey in the foreword to his book <i>Pragmatics</i>
(Blackwell). In addition, we are currently publishing studies in fields
such as Japanese literature and anthropology. We are firmly dedicated to
the field of academic publishing, and our goal is to become a world-wide
publisher in the 21st century. Thus we are committed to the support of
those in the field of language research.
We think that communication networks and multilingual processing on the
personal computer are highly important. These will be the new mark of literacy
in the next century as well as standard topics of human communication.
We think these new means of communication will be highly valued in studies
of language as well. We have published a translation of Albion's book <i>Netiquette</i>,
and guidebooks for managing Hangul and Chinese on the Macintosh. We are
also very interested in communication networks.
Furthermore, we have begun publication of linguistics studies in English.
Among the books we have planned for publication are <i>Linguistic
Typology</i>. If you are interested in our publications, please take
a moment to look through our catalog pages which you can access through
the table of contents below.
We are currently working on the implementation of an overseas delivery system
for our books. If you would like to purchase any of our publications, please
contact us. We can advise you on the most feasible method of obtaining
our books. In Japan, our titles are marketed through Yamato Book Service,
the largest wholesale book distributor in Japan. Although their sales
abroad are generally to Japanese people, anyone may use their services.
In the case of overseas orders , however, we regret that we can not provide
any discounts on our books. We are making every effort to improve our delivery
system. Members of LSA may purchase our products by personal check if the
amount is over twenty thousand yen.
Our doors are open to the linguists of the world. If you have a publishing
project in mind, please contact us.
Since I am not a native English speaker, I hope you will overlook my lack
of skill in writing English. Most of our home pages are written in Japanese
and we encourage those who read Japanese to take a moment to browse through
them.
Thank you for visiting our site.
