Description

International students from non-kanji backgrounds almost without exception come from cultures where alphabet-type writing systems are used, and therefore tend to view writing as a system that matches the sounds of a language. Furthermore, they need to learn a fairly large number of kanji in a relatively short time. For both these reasons, the most systematic aspect of kanji, the arrangement of phonetic indicators, deserves more attention in the teaching of kanji. Furthermore, unlike Japanese, both Chinese and English (as well as a large number of other languages) make use of rhyme in various ways. In this paper, I first show that alphabet-type writing systems are used more widely than usually thought, and look at the nature of the phoneticity of kanji. I then proceed to a comparison of rhyme in Chinese and English, which shows a number of similarities, and discuss the results of a pilot questionnaire on learners understaning of rhyming sets, with a view of utilizing it for the systematic acquisition of phonetic indicators.
