TheBigZaboon Posted June 7, 2019 at 02:24 PM Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 at 02:24 PM @Publius, I can't see the image clearly enough to judge on my phone, but you may be right. When Japanese kids are taught what they call KanBun (汉文), classical texts of either Chinese or Japanese origin, the texts are pretreated with a prescribed series of marks that allows the student to rearrange the sentences mentally to correspond to modern Japanese grammatical usage, and almost read the text as if it were a modern Japanese sentence. I'm afraid I don't have an example explained in English to show you, but there's probably quite a few available on the Japanese web explained in Japanese.

TheBigZaboon Posted June 7, 2019 at 02:33 PM Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 at 02:33 PM I just looked at the text on another device, and the little katakana (okurigana) squiggles on the right side of the text corresponding to modern Japanese verb pronunciation, and the little "relocate" or "parts of speech" identifiers on the left are quite obvious. I vote for Japanese textbook as the origin of the OP's text. TBZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
