metadata.value: This particular study is an inconspicuous part of a large project – new academic translations
  of the songs of “Kojiki” and “Nihon Shoki” into Russian published recently at Amazon publ.
  They contain original texts, romanization, glossing, translations into Russian and some commentaries.
  Such a book falls within a structural approach in diachronic linguistics. Structural
  linguistic analyses involve morphemes identification and glossing — we pay special attention
  to phonetics when analyzing Old Japanese texts. The morphemic analysis is rather complicated
  without a detailed phonetic study of the language period, which serves as a basis for
  many morphemic phenomena. When using structural and morphemic analyses, we admit
  tier structure of the language, which presupposes morphophonemic level. In addition to their
  classical definition, morphemes here function as phonemes combination, what in many cases
  helps to avoid misreadings. In this limited space I will try to give answers to the following
  questions: why do we use one or another romanization system while transliterating Old Japanese
  text; why it is vital for academic translations to use transliteration, rather than syllabic
  script; what transliteration systems do we have today and what are the particular benefits of
  each of them, offering readers explanations of the main differences between layered structure
  of Old Japanese and classical Japanese grammar (see, for example, translated into Russian in
  2017 textbook in Classical Japanese by Haruo Shirane).
