Learning outcomes
The course provides students with deeper and more detailed outlook on the Japanese language (often making use of comparison with Czech and English). The language is discussed on all key levels of language description, including phonetics, phonology, lexicology, morphology, syntax, pragmatics, and sociolinguistics.
Upon completion of the course, students have a broader and more solid theoretical knowledge and understanding of modern Japanese as a language, and have proven their ability to think and write about linguistic phenomena by writing a report.
Prerequisites
The course is offered for Japanese majors in the B.A. study program. It is expected that students have certain knowledge of Japanese and basic linguistic terminology.
