This book is a compilation of 74 columns appearing in The Japan Times'from February 16, 1986 to July 19, 1987.
In this volume, we have attempted to explain, among other things, how some basic words and phrases are used in social life, how the Japanese modify their speech depending on the purpose, and what expressions are most likely to precede certain categories of speech such as making a request, apologizing, stating an opinion, and reporting what another person has said. Throughout, we have concentrated on actual speech patterns used in daily life.
