 There's a PD hiragana postscript font available on
wuarchive.wustl.edu; the file name is something like
/mirrors3/archive.umich.edu/mac/system.extension/fonts/type1/shorai.cpt.hqx

I doubt that Martin derives "takai desu" from "takai no desu."  I just tried
to see what he does say in _A Reference Grammar of Japanese_, but decided to
postpone it to when I don't have the phone line tied up.  :-)

Usually contractions retain the meaning of the full form, while "takai desu"
and "takai n(o) desu" are rather distinct.  Can you think of any other
contractions where sound loss is exactly mirrored by meaning loss?

Further, if "takai n(o) desu" could contract to "takai desu," what's to
keep "takai n(o) da" from turning to (yech!) *"takai da"?

Hello David,
Well, it's really unfortunate that your site doesn't have ftp capabilities.
The kanjips.tar.Z file is a compressed file with a size of 450 kByte.
After decompression and dearching dozends of files with a total size of
more than 1 MByte are created, so that I think that it is not practical
for anybody to send these files via email.
The second difficulty is that email cannot transfer binary data, which
area also included in this software-package. I'm sorry to say that !!

The only practical way to obtain kanjips is to find somebody who  can
copy all these files on a magnetic device (floppy disks, streamer.., etc.)
and send it to you via traditional mail.
Or maybe there is an ftp-site near you.

If anybody else has a better idea to help you ...?

I had a Japanese instructor here at the University (Ed Copeland) who
has since passed away, but he said that when he learned Japanese (around
WWII), it was improper to use the `tai' form of verbs without an 'n desu'
afterwards (`mitai n(o) desu', `kaitaku nai n(o) desu', etc.)  He said it
has changed to become acceptable to use just `desu' after this conjugation
of verb in modern times.

I have no idea if this is related to generic keiyo^shi but it seems like it.

Sumimasen ga
	As for this one, you're on the right track.  
		
		sumimasen ga, ima naNji de shou ka.
		excuse me, but, do you have the time?

Shitsurei itashimashita
	This will be used when you have done what you think embarrassing to the 
	addressee.  Besides this expression is much politer way of saying 
	"shitsurei shimashita."

		A: Tanaka-san, o-geNki deshi ta ka.
		B: Ha?  Hito-chigai de wa?
		A: A, shitsurei shimashita.

	I would say you could put both "excuse me" and "I'm sorry" for the 
	translation of the expression.

Gomen nasai
	This is one of the less plolite forms of "shitsurei shimashita."  With
	this you are actually appologizing for something you have done wrong.

		A: Omae ka!! Ore no sushi made tabeta no wa!!
		B: Gomen nasai!  Datte, onaka ga suite itaNda moN...

Anyway you could use the expressions to :
	Sumimasen ga		any people
				(your friends may feel your being unfriendly)
				when you want to ask for something

	Shitsurei itashimashita	
				any people especially to the elder or superior 
				when you have made a mistake or have done 
				something wrong
	
	Gomen nasai		your peers or to your family members
				you CAN'T say this to school principle unless
				you are an elementary school kid :)

These are just some of the basic uses of the expressions.  You will be exposed 
to many other usages.

I hope this would help you.

Date: 31 Jul 92 02:39:52 GMT

I have been typing in the vocabulary list from the textbook "Basic
Technical Japanese" for use with a simple "flashcard" program I made
up. Here is the list from Ch.5. I have also typed in the words from
Chs. 6 and 7, and will post them too if there is any interest. I will
eventually type them all in, but if someone else would like to help,
it would be welcome.

There are three lines per word, but the third line is blank
if it is a hiragana word (according to BTJ):

1. English translation
2. Kanji version
3. Kana version for pronounciation

I doubt that the escape sequences will make it through,
so you will have to add them yourself. For example,
the first three lines in the list below should be

to glance
<esc>$@0l8+$9$k<esc>(J
<esc>$@$$$C$1$s$9$k<esc>(J

where <esc> is the escape character.

Regarding 3rd generation Japanese-Americans.  I would suggest, and this is
really a semantic issue, that they are culturally American (but retaining
some cultural influences from Japan) but are considered, within the
American context, ethnically Japanese.  Anyone who has spent time with
Japanese-Americans knows they are much more like other Americans than they
are like Japanese, so there's no doubt from the cultural standpoint.  Of
course they may or may not choose to maintain some of there cultural
traditions from their roots, but these are influences, not their predominant
way of life.

But the way we use the word ethnicity in common American English usage refers
to national/racial/cultural origins.  So just as we say Italian-Americans are
of Italian ethnicity, Hispanic-Americans of Mexican or Cuban ethnicity, etc.
we speak of Japanese ethnicity.  If we met a third generation Brazilian
of pure/near pure Japanese descent, we would say they were a Brazilian of
Japanese ethnicity.  Ethnicity is a sub-categorization within race, so that
many ethnicities belong to each of the racial groupings.

These distinctions are not always helpful, but this is the way they are
commonly used.  The same is true in Japan, where Koreans (even with Japanese
names, and after the third or fourth generation) are viewed as ethically
ethnically (sorry, Freudian slip) Korean although culturally they are
primarily Japanese.

I only know the Japanized pronunciation of his name: Kuroodo Chiari.

I don't know about the law either, but I think the trouble stems 
from the fact that Korean and Chinese names are written in kanji,
which have different reading in Japanese.  French, English, and other
names don't have this problem.

On a related note, TV and radio announcers used to use Japanese reading
of the names of Chinese and Korean nationals, but now they use approximation 
to the native pronunciation (At least for the contemporaries, I don't know
about historical figures).

it gives compounds for the Kanjis which

I (the afore-mentioned Mr. Borden) didn't have it either backwards or

From this definition, however, it looks like ethnocentrism can be viewed as a

I assume this is supposed to say, "Asian but not Japanese"???

Regarding kanjips:
I purchased the MOKE package for MS-DOS and have never been able to print even
the most simple file to a PostScript printer using kanjips.  I've tested files
on a Texas Instruments Micro-Laser and on other printers I'm not at liberty to
mention.  The PostScript code produced seems to be non-standard.
sielmann@dkrz-hamburg.dbp.de mentions that "This packet only runs on
Unix-maschines" in his post, but your message seems to contradict this.  Any
ideas??

P.S.  The jprint driver supports HPII mode and delivers a good looking image,
but is limited to 3 discreet point sizes.
