Old Japanese a phonetic reconstruction 1st Table of contents:

Part 1: The Evidence for Reconstruction

1. The Man'yōgana System: Key to Old Japanese Phonology
   • Description of Man'yōgana (use of Chinese characters for their phonetic value)
   • Analysis of Jōdai Tokushu Kanazukai (Type A/B distinctions)
   • Limitations and Ambiguities of Man'yōgana
2. Internal Reconstruction from Old Japanese Texts
   • Alternations and Morphophonemics
   • Poetic Rhyme and Meter as Evidence
3. Comparative Method: Altaic / Trans-Eurasian Language Family Hypothesis
   • Overview of the Comparative Method
   • Proposed Cognates and Sound Correspondences with Korean, Mongolic, Tungusic, Turkic (and any other hypothesized related languages)
   • Controversies and Challenges of the Altaic Hypothesis
4. Early Loanwords and Foreign Transcriptions
   • Early Chinese Loanwords into Japanese
   • Japanese Loanwords into Early Korean
   • Foreign Accounts (e.g., Chinese historical records)
5. Later Japanese Dialects and Historical Sound Changes
   • Reconstructing from Middle Japanese and Early Modern Japanese
   • Understanding the phonological changes from Old Japanese to later stages

Part 2: Methodology of Phonetic Reconstruction

6. Principles of Phonological Reconstruction
   • The Comparative Method in Detail
   • Internal Reconstruction Principles
   • Dealing with Residuals and Irregularities
7. Addressing the Jōdai Tokushu Kanazukai
   • Arguments for Eight Vowels vs. Other Systems
   • Interpreting the A/B Distinctions
   • Reconstructing the Nature of the "Distinctive" Vowels (e.g., /i₁, i₂, e₁, e₂, o₁, o₂/)
8. Reconstructing Consonant Clusters and Palatalization
   • Evidence for Pre-Old Japanese Consonant Clusters
   • The Role of Palatalization and Affrication in Old Japanese
9. Prosody, Pitch Accent, and Syllable Structure
   • Evidence for Pitch Accent in Old Japanese (if any)
   • Reconstructed Syllable Structure (CV, CVC, etc.)

Part 3: The Reconstructed Phonological System of Old Japanese

10. Reconstructed Old Japanese Vowel System
    • Detailed Arguments for the Number and Quality of Vowels
    • Phonetic Values (e.g., /i/, /ɨ/, /e/, /ə/, /a/, /o/, /u/, /ɯ/ for 8-vowel systems)
    • Distributional Analysis
11. Reconstructed Old Japanese Consonant System
    • Inventory of Consonants (Stops, Fricatives, Nasals, Liquids, Glides)
    • Phonetic Realizations and Allophony
    • Gemination and Nasalization
12. Phonotactics and Syllable Structure
    • Permitted Consonant-Vowel Combinations
    • Constraints on Syllable Structure
13. Morphophonological Processes in Old Japanese
    • Vowel Harmony (if applicable to the reconstruction)
    • Consonant Alternations
    • Word Formation Processes

Part 4: Implications and Broader Context

14. Old Japanese in the Context of Japonic Languages
    • Reconstruction of Proto-Japonic
    • Relationship to Ryukyuan Languages
15. Theoretical Implications for Phonological Reconstruction
    • Challenges to Traditional Methods
