日语究竟是一种什么样的语言?它属于哪个语系?这是我们学习、研究日语时必然关心的问题。记得曾有人在《日语学习与研究》上就此问题发表过文章。最近阅读古田东朔编写的《新国语概说》,谈到这个问题,这里仅把它所归纳的,迄今为止日本语言学家、国语学家研究的成果摘译出来,供同志们参考。 What kind of language is Japanese and what language belongs to it? This is a problem we must pay attention to while studying and studying Japanese. I remember someone who had published an article on this issue in “Japanese Language Learning and Research.” Recently read Gutian Tianshuo prepared << New Mandarin Language >> talked about this issue, it is only here it is summarized, so far the results of Japanese linguists, linguists study extracts for comrades reference.
