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 Pragmatics
(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 Netiquette,
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 Linguistic Typology.
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.
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.

We would like to becom the internatinal independent academic publisher in 5 years. Is it an only dream?
The below description comes from Radopi profile. We just changed some words. We would like to rewrite the description till March 2006. We would like to propose our plan.
We are an independent academic publishing house. Since our beginnings - over 15 years ago - we have been truly international. Although our main language of publication is Japanese, our multilingual list includes Englsih.
We publish over 30 titles per year. These monographs and collective volumes form our varied program of more than 5 series, for a wide readership of scholars, academics, and other discerning readers.
In our backlist - of around 250 titles - you will find already-established and continually growing series within our main subject areas:
* Interdisciplinary Studies
* Linguistics
* Literature and Culture
* Philosophy
* Psychology
* Social and Political Sciences
We are committed to publishing series that generate new domains as a response to the needs of academics and their fields, from different areas of specialization.
One of Hituzi's distinctive policies has been to maintain a close relationship with leading and internationally oriented teams of scholars from different continents.
