Combining two い-adjectives without using て I feel like this question stems from a misunderstanding. 背が高い格好いい人 is perfectly fine. This is because it's analyzed as 背が高い［格好いい人］. その人は背が高い格好いい is of course wrong (except perhaps with certain young people). With this knowledge you should see that ない behaves exactly the same. |

The uses & etymology of で @user1205935 I agree. I just thought it might be worth separating them, since it's not so clear if this is actually a て-form or what. |

知っとった meaning of grammar? This is correct of course, but to add, 居る{おる} (godan) is the archaic/dialectical form of 居る{いる}, the rest follows. |

Politeness on Twitter @TsuyoshiIto My sample is almost entirely compromised of people I don't know personally (I don't know very many Japanese people personally). The most interaction I've had with most is mutual following and maybe one or two tweets at each other in the past. |

Does the nominalizer 〜の require the adnominal form before it? If yes, why? Awesome paper, exactly what I was looking for, thanks! |

How does pitch accent work in Japanese? Relax my statement about binary notation being required for some dialects. |

What is the proper pronunciation for 十分/１０分? じっぷん or じゅっぷん? @EricDong That's interesting to me. I never knew ふ was pronounced as /pu/ at all. I thought it only underwent the h->w->Ø row phonetic changes. (Like what happened with -う verbs.) If I were to believe anything, it would be that the /ff/ germination in /juffun/ is not easy to pronounce so it changed to /pp/ to allow it. Is there a good document on this sort of thing? |

What is the proper pronunciation for 十分/１０分? じっぷん or じゅっぷん? I'd say this is the etymology of じゅっぷん: /jufupun/ --(devoice+drop of u)--> */jufpun/ --(促音便 repair of CC sequence)--> /juppun/. Namely the devoice/drop and 音便 occurred before the /hV/->/wV/->/V/ shift. But this is only my own analysis. |

How does pitch accent work in Japanese? I'm not sure what's being asked here... is it "how does pitch accent work in Japanese?" or "how do I find the pitch accent for Japanese words?" or "how do I explain pitch accent in a succinct way?" |

What suffix do you add to a verb to make it perfective or imperfective? @snailplane Thanks, that is really interesting to me. It makes me want to change my answer, but I am not so sure about exactly how yet. |

What function did あり perform in classical Japanese 形容詞? Thanks, this helps some. It does not make the 連用形 case so clear though. Why would the past tense be 熱かりたり rather than 熱くたり? (Are both forms valid in all contexts? I think I've only seen the former. But even so, why would there be a need for two?) --- Also, this suggests that ある is semantically vacuous and is only there for conjugations. I think this makes sense to me, since having a copula there would not really mesh with what I know about 形容詞 at least. |
