Japanese Language Today
If you want proof that the Japanese language is in decline, just watch a few parliamentary debates and press conferences on Japanese TV. You won’t see politicians talking about what can be done to improve language skills among the country’s youth. Rather, you’ll see government officials misusing their own language.
Recently Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi(小泉纯一郎) called himself a person lacking vocabulary. It seems he’s governing a nation of such people. Last May a group of university deans announced the results of a survey showing that a majority of Japanese college students have difficulty expressing themselves fully and clearly in their own language. Throughout Japan, linguistic skills have been in a downward spiral for at least a decade. Young people who read less and watch more TV than ever before regularly stumble over old proverbs, miss the subtleties’ of polite expressions and even mistake one written character for another.
Japanese is considered one of the world’s most difficult languages. Grammar is complicated, and the meanings of words are multifarious (多种多样的). There are also different kinds of written characters—ancient Chinese characters known as kanji (日文中的汉字), Japanese letters called hiragana and the characters used for foreign words. Many young people struggle with kanji, which are often used to express more ideas. Young people also lack familiarity with Western .classics well known to their educated elders.
Many teachers blame video games and television for language problems. Others say that word processors are at fault. To use them, Japanese have to type in Roman letters, then select from a menu of written Japanese and Chinese characters. Since users aren’t actually writing the words themselves, experts say it’s easy to forget them. But technology is only part of the problem. Some say the real issue is an isolated generation. Young people nowadays don’t seem to have conversion with elders who understand the language better.
While Japanese educators haven’t yet come up with a solution to the language problem, the public does seem ready to take action.
Japanese are at a loss for words.
