Seminar: COGNITIVE LINGUISTICS AND JAPANESELecturer: Prof. Yoshihiko Ikegami (professor emeritus University of Tokyo)SUMMARY:The course is intended as a series of lectures with focus on specifics of the Japanese language, approached mainly from the modern cognitive linguistics perspectives. The lectures are devided into two parts. The first part will introduce modern cognitive linguistics at the level of general linguistics. The second part will deal specifically with the Japanese language at the level of grammar, lexicon, stylistics, also with focus on communication strategies and cultural typology.Part I: Introduction to Cognitive LinguisticsCognitive linguistics is the most recent new development in the study of language. The course offers an introductory account of its basic ideas, followed by a series of discussions on some of the major points in grammar and lexis with examples predominantly from English.Part II: Japanese as Seen from Outside and from InsideIt is well-known that there is sometimes a big discrepancy between the image entertained by non-native speakers about the language they learn and the image entertained by native speakers about their native language (so much so that Japanese was once called by Westerners 'the Devil's language'). In the present course, some of such cases are taken up and discussed both from the viewpoint of linguistic relativity and of linguistic universality.At the end of the course students will be able to:understand the basic theoretical and methodological framework of modern cognitive linguistics;discuss the differences between cognitive linguistics and other linguistic frameworks;describe some characteristics of modern Japanese language and its specifics in contrast with English or other european languages;know the basic concepts and terminology concerning the field of study.
