Metapragmatics Of Attentivenes

The topics studied are not only relevant to academics and advanced students working on Japanese, but practically to any reader who has interest in pragmatics and the Japanese lingua-culture, due to the explanatory power of Fukushima’s work. So, if the Reader is prepared for an academic tour de force and the exploration of a fascinating lingua-culture provided by an outstanding expert of the field, reading the present volume is a must.
