ABSTRACT

This paper examines research articles on Japanese grammar, which have been published in academic journals in 2015 and 2016 in Korea, and explores their current trends, clarifies their special features, and provides a prospect of future studies on Japanese grammar. In this period, the trending special features are (i) a decrease in the number of grammar researches, (ii) a decrease in theoretical researches and an increase in descriptive researches, (iii) an increase in corpus researches, (iv) vigorousness of language typological contrastive researches and (v) diversification of researches on grammar. The paper further points out some issues that require greater attention, such as establishment of a holistically interrelated research stance with ‘general linguistics’ and ‘Japanese linguistics’, exploration of a more scientific research methodology, reconsideration of fundamental and essential research items, reinforcement of the connection between research on grammar and educational sites, and expansion of the actual intellectual exchange.
