○英語学演習Ⅱ－2 (言語人類学入門)
Seminar in English Linguistics II－2 -An Introduction to Linguistic Anthropology-
2単位/Unit 春学期/Spring 今出川/Imadegawa

LEO J. LOVEDAY

＜概要/Course Content Summary＞

After taking this seminar students will understand why the study of language is incomplete without a full understanding of the function of language in culture and society. The questions this course will address include the following fundamental issues: How can language and culture be adquately described? Do other creatures apart from humans show linguistic capacities? How did language originate and contribute to human evolution and the development of culture? How can languages be classified in order to show their interrelationships? What is the relationship between language and thought? What is meaning: how is it transmitted and processed in socio-cultural terms? What modern myths exist concerning language use and behavior?

＜到達目標/Goals,Aims＞

By taking this course， students will acquire the essential background knowledge regarding the cardinal relationship between culture and language from an international perspective through the lens of anthropological linguistics. After completing this course， they should have acquired the following skills among others:　
- recognize and refute ideological falsehoods about language on the folk level e.g. the myth of so-called 'primitive' languages　
- be capable of describing and relating morphological and discoursal data to their sociocultural contexts of production and creation　
- apply the analytic framework of the ethnography of communication to any episode of communication 　
- analyze a set of data dealing with lexical specialization in terms of linguistic relativism
