Reviews

Advance praise: 'Using Japanese Synonyms is a thesaurus and reference for the intermediate and advanced student of Japanese. The hundreds of words and authentic examples are organized into approximately 300 semantic frames, which range literally from A (abunai) to Z (zenzen). Within each frame, the words and examples are chosen to highlight potential problems of understanding and differentiation for English-speaking learners. Meaning and register are explicitly addressed. The volume includes two indices for easy access and cross-referencing, and it can be used for self-study or in a classroom setting.' William McClure, Queens College, City University of New York
