Upon completion of the course, students will have a broader and more solid theoretical knowledge of Japanese grammar at the level of fonology, morphology, syntax and pragmatics and a better understanding of various relationships in the structure of modern Japanese. They will be able to apply this knowledge while analyzing a particular language phenomenon.
