Anthropology 50.6 - Japan's Linguistic Modernity:The Anthropology of Japanese Language and Society

Institution:

Dartmouth College

Subject:

Description:

09W: 11 Western and native folk views of the Japanese language and Japanese society emphasize uniqueness, homogeneity, and adherence to tradition. Linguistic Anthropology argues, however, that areas of Japanese Women's Language and Honorific Register, long thought to be exemplary of these sociolinguistic traits, have in fact emerged historically through Japan's engagement with the West, and through the production of social difference within Japan. This course takes up the social and historical relation between these Japanese linguistic forms, speech practices, and the production of Japanese cultural identities and differences.
