授業概要 / Course Description
In this seminar, we are going to cover various topics relating to the Japanese language and society, such as dialects, gender, honorifics, all of which you may often encounter in your daily life in Japan. In order to understand these topics, it is not enough to examine the language system, which is composed of phonology, morphology and syntax, because the language system functions only in relation to its speakers and the society where it is spoken. This academic discipline which tackles the relationship between language and society is called sociolinguistics. You will be encouraged to share your own experiences and observations with regard to the Japanese language.
