Extract

Introduction This article describes aspects of the semantics of Japanese verbs of dress, first from a contrastive standpoint vis-à-vis English, and subsequently in terms of their position within the structure of the vocabulary of Japanese. It is hoped that the treatment may draw attention to the semantic interest of this area of the vocabulary in different languages, and to the importance of a hitherto little-described sense relation of oppositeness.
