All About Particles: A Handbook of Japanese Function Words Naoko Chino

Summary:
All students of Japanese, whether they have studied physics or not,
know the word "particle," and they realize that particles, like
English prepositions, require a special effort to master. Thus the
high evaluation of the previous edition of this small handbook, which
provides all the information students need in a scant 128 pages, was
not surprising. All About Particles covers 69 particles, the most
common ones along with the less frequent. The particles are shown to
have some 200 usages -- sufficient to keep most students hard at work
for a good many years. The book can be approached as a textbook and
studied religiously from beginning to end. It is as a reference book,
however, that All AboutParticles shines: light enough to carry
around, slim enough to fit into the corner of a shoulder bag, concise
enough to take one quickly to the crux of the matter, it combines the
best of several worlds and is priced to be affordable. No wonder,
then, that wherever students of Japanese congregate, there is bound
to be a copy of All About Particles around. By the author of A
Dictionary of Basic Japanese Sentence Patterns and Japanese Verbs at
a Glance. Previous published in the Power Japanese series under the
title All About Particles.
