Abstract

There is very little empirical research into how men of any society use language at the everyday, local level (but see Coates 2003; Johnson & Meinhof 1997). This is certainly true in the Japanese case. The lack of investigation into Japanese men in general and their language use in particular may give the impression that any Japanese man on the street can stand as representative of the generic Japanese male and that the language style he uses is both known and normatively spoken by all Japanese men.
