  We discuss how one-dimensional interacting fermion systems, which in the low
energy approximation are described by Luttinger liquid theory, can be
reformulated as systems of weakly interacting particles with fractional charge
and statistics. Our approach is to use Landau's phenomenological approach to
Fermi liquid theory, where the quasiparticles are interpreted as adiabatically
dressed fermions. In an earlier publication the local charge carried by these
excitations has been shown to be fractional. We focus here on the statistics of
the quasiparticles and show that by a change of momentum variables the Landau
parameters of the generalized Fermi fluid can be transformed to zero. This
change in interaction is compensated by a change of the entropy function, which
is consistent with the interpretation of the quasiparticles as satisfying
generalized exclusion statistics.
