授業のねらい
/Learning Objectives
Language is one of the important aspects of culture, and is a sort of looking-glass, through which we can see and understand culture. This course aims at providing the students with fundamental knowledge about linguistics, a scientific study of language. Particular emphasis will be placed on understanding how diverse languages in the world are in the structural sense, particularly their sound aspects. Through exercises and activities (homework/assignments) to be given throughout this course, the students are expected to understand how the linguistic sounds are structured and to acquire basic methods for computer-aided experimental analysis of linguistic sounds.

到達度目標
/Outcomes Measured By:
#1 To understand how tightly connected language and culture are
#2 To understand how structurally diverse the world's languages are
#3 To acquire fundamental knowledge on linguistic and phonetic studies of language
#4 To acquire basic methods for computer-aided experimental phonetic analysis
