A study of nominal compounds in Sino-Japanese

Sino-Japanese is an important part of the Japanese language. It is unique in the sense that it has many properties the rest of Japanese does not have. This is due to the fact that Sino-Japanese is not native to the Japanese language, but is borrowed from the Chinese language centuries ago. As a result, it preserves some vestige of its original language, Chinese, while adopting new characteristics from the native Japanese. This unique feature often is the source of confusion for both Chinese native speakers and Japanese native speakers in learning the other language.
