Typology of Writing Systems
Edited by S. Borgwaldt and Terry Joyce
Typology research is extremely important in both proposing classification frameworks and in promoting the careful investigation and analysis of the core concepts inherent within the classification contrasts employed. More exemplary of the latter aspect, the present collection of papers on the… read more[Benjamins Current Topics, 51] 2013. viii, 163 pp.

2023 Chaos or system? Reassessing the unique case of the Japanese writing system On the Systematic Nature of Writing Systems, Mora-Marín, David F. and Lynne Cahill (eds.), pp. 57–75 | Article
This paper seeks to reassess the balance between chaos and systematicity within the Japanese writing system (JWS), which is noted for its complexity. As potential factors for chaos, Section 2 focuses on two important conventions. The first is the simultaneous use of multiple scripts as… read more
2019 On the notions of graphematic representation and orthography from the perspective of the Japanese writing system Writing Systems: Past, present (… and future?), Joyce, Terry and Robert Crellin (eds.), pp. 247–279 | Article
This paper addresses two closely related topics for understanding the highly fungible nature of written Japanese. The first is to consider the relative merits of the notions of graphematic representation and orthography with respect to the Japanese writing system (JWS). The second issue is to… read more

The general consensus among writing-systems researchers is that the Japanese writing system (JWS) is remarkably complex (Joyce, 2002a, 2011). This introductory chapter consists of two main parts that, respectively, provide an overview of the multi-script JWS and a selective review of… read more
2018 Chapter 11. Constituent-priming investigations of the morphological activation of Japanese compound words Writing Systems, Reading Processes, and Cross-Linguistic Influences: Reflections from the Chinese, Japanese and Korean Languages, Pae, Hye K. (ed.), pp. 221–244 | Chapter
This chapter reports on two experiments conducted to investigate the morphological activation of two-kanji compound words using the constituent-morpheme priming paradigm with a series of very-brief masked stimulus onset asynchronicity (SOA) conditions. In contrast to Experiment 1 where the… read more

As a significant milestone within ongoing efforts to construct a comprehensive database in the form of a lexical resource (LR) of Japanese Lexical Properties (JLP-LR), this paper outlines the initial construction of an Ontology of Japanese Lexical Properties (JLP-O) (Joyce & Hodošček 2014), and,… read more

2014 Jōyō kanji as core building blocks of the Japanese writing system: Some observations from database construction The architecture of writing systems, Berg, Kristian, Franziska Buchmann and Nanna Fuhrhop (eds.), pp. 173–194 | Article
The architecture of writing systems metaphor has special relevance for understanding the structural nature of the Japanese writing system, and, more specifically, for appreciating how the 2,136 kanji of the 常用漢字表 /jō-yō-kan-ji-hyō/* ‘List of characters for general use’ function as the core… read more
2013 The significance of the morphographic principle for the classification of writing systems Typology of Writing Systems, Borgwaldt, S. and Terry Joyce (eds.), pp. 61–84 | Article
The significance of the morphographic principle – by which the orthographic units of a writing system primarily represent morphemes – has been seriously undervalued within the study and classification of writing systems in general and in comprehending kanji within the Japanese writing system in… read more

Given its multi-scriptal nature, the Japanese writing system can potentially yield some important insights into the complex relationships that can exist between units of language and units of writing. This paper discusses some of the difficult issues surrounding the notions of orthographic… read more
