A tradição histórica dos estudos de keishikimeishi

Résumé

This article aims to draw different theoretical considerations presented by grammarians on the morphological category of Japanese language, named keishikimeishi. Beginning with the grammarians like Yamada and Matsushita, who studied specifically the subject, approaches of late studies are here analysed by semantic and syntactic points of view, as a form to elucidate the complex functioning of Japanese language keishikimeishi.
