BREVE PANORAMA HISTÓRICO SOBRE A FORMAÇÃO DA ESCRITA E DA GRAMÁTICA DA LÍNGUA JAPONESA

Abstract

This paper aims at presenting a theoretical and historical overview with regards to the formation of Japanese writing system and grammar. 

Firstly, I make an approach to the history of the development of Japanese writing system from the era where Japanese language did not have any writing system, having imported ulteriorly a grapheme system (kanji[1]) from China until unfolding as what is known as Japanese writing system with its two syllabaries, that next to kanji, are widely adopted to today’s writing. Secondly, I also organize chronologically and conceptually the routes to the awareness of Japanese grammar when its complexity with regards to Chinese influences comes to terms. Consequently, it has emerged many difficulties to a thoroughly understanding of the Japanese thought.
