Japanese Grammar - Nihonbunpooron

Japanese: 日本文法論 - にほんぶんぽうろん

A grammar book written by Yamada Yoshio. Published in 1908 (partially published in 1902). He critically examined the conventional classification of parts of speech, and developed his own original theory of grammar while referring to Western grammar books. The basic ideas of the so-called "Yamada grammar" were already shown in this book, such as treating auxiliary verbs as compound endings, classifying particles into six types, dividing phrases into evocative and predicative bodies, and discussing perception and statement. It was the earliest system of Japanese grammar to be created, and formed the basis of current research. [Maeda Tomiyoshi]

Japanese:

山田孝雄（よしお）著の文法書。1908年刊(1902年に一部刊行)。従来の品詞分類を批判検討し，西洋の文典を参照しつつ，独自の文法論を展開した。助動詞を複語尾とし，助詞を6種に分類し，句を喚体と述体とに分け，統覚と陳述とを論ずるなど，いわゆる〈山田文法〉の基本的な考え方はすでにこの書で示されている。最も早くすぐれた日本文法の体系を作りあげたものであり，現在の研究の基礎をなした。【前田富祺】
