J'accepte les réponses rédigées en français, anglais et japonais.
I accept answers in English, Japanese and French.
日本語、フランス語や英語での答えを認めます。

  • I write in British English, so, if you correct my messages, please stick to it (e.g., colour/color, kerb/curb, flat/apartment, marmite/vegemite).
  • J'écris principalement en français de France (avec une orthographe non-simplifiée de préférence), mais il m'arrive d'y mélanger du français du Québec.
  • 主に標準語で書くんだけど、なかなか流暢に使える東北弁でも書くことがある。んだげんともほどんど通ずねぇがら、使わねごとにすっぺちゃ!

comment What makes に基づいて instead of に応じて the correct choice for this question?
@istrasci: I believe the point in your example is that there is changes in the policy drive changes in the planning. You've got both origin (based on policy) and parallelism (evolution of policy causes evolution of planning). You don't have that in motoduku, where the referential is static, and thus doesn't change (afaiu).

comment What makes に基づいて instead of に応じて the correct choice for this question?
@istrasci: A common usage of に沿って is "川に沿って歩く": to walk along the river. There really is the "parallel" meaning in 沿う. English's "according" is cover too many interpretations. It makes sense in your sentence, but it is another meaning than 沿う that is retrospectively meant.

comment What makes に基づいて instead of に応じて the correct choice for this question?
@Chris: I just felt that "according to" was more natural in English, and as Cypher said, it is not the same one as "According to Jim, …" which is "ジムさんによると" or something like that.

comment What determines whether a word gets a kanji compound or katakana?
Notice that comprehension of English may not be assumed. I've often seen people use "kataka words," just to explain immediately aftewards what they meant in "kanji Japanesese" (eg, CS teachers at the university, introducing words like "reference, continuation, control flow," etc.)

comment Why do Japanese titles often start with titles/appositions?
I would go further: if it's been done like that until now, then don't do it differently. As for why it started, I guess it's because of the importance the Japanese culture seems to attach to specialisation (i.e. status, group membership, etc).

comment Which is the “official” kanji for さい, 歳 or 才 ?
@pacerier: and save one character, which can be very useful. Also, I reckon that 才 is still faster to write than "さい-with-any-stroke-removed".

comment What does the use of a dash (instead of a character) to extend a sound mean?
@pacerier: a nuance to express tremolo/pitch variation? Also, I believe that 〜 appears more at the end of words (いいな〜) and ー in the middle "よーく見てね!"
