About this book

This book examines dilemmas faced by second language Japanese speakers as a result of persistent challenges to their legitimacy as speakers of Japanese. It explores ideologies linked to three core speech styles of Japanese – keigo or polite language, gendered language and regional dialects – to show how such ideologies impact L2-Japanese speakers.
