    Overview

    An introduction to the study of Japanese linguistics. Students learn how the core systems of language - phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics - operate in the Japanese language.

    In this paper, students learn how to analyse the Japanese language linguistically and understand the structure of the language. This opens up your opportunity to conduct linguistic research making reference to the Japanese language.
