Useful for understanding Japanese linguistics

I'm not a student of linguistics but rather a student of the Japanese language who is looking to improve his accent. Although the book is meant for a scholarly audience, and one versed in the particular nomenclenture of linguistics, I find it quite useful in detailing the particulars of the Japanese spoken language. I think that used properly in conjunction with other studies and tutoring with a native speaker this can be useful for students in improving their spoken Japanese.
