S.Huang This course is designed to provide an overview of the historical development of the Chinese language and its structures in terms of phonetics/phonology, syntax and semantics. The goal is to help students look at Chinese from both a historical and a theoretical perspective. Students from Linguistics will have an opportunity to enrich and broaden their understanding of linguistic theories and methodologies, and to develop skills in analyzing a non-Indo-European language, while students who have completed at least Second-year Chinese will be exposed to systematic analyses of the language to learn the general patterns. Prerequisites: At least two of the following three: Introduction to Syntax, Introduction to Semantics, Second-year Chinese or above. Or consent of the instructor. Not offered in 2008-09.

M.Kaneko One of the defining features of Japanese literature up to the present day has been this ongoing absorption of styles and concepts drawn from the West; yet Japanese aesthetics and literary techniques have deep roots indeed, and these traditions continue to be fertile in the literary soil% of Japan over the last 150 years. In this course, we will explore some of the cross-cultural phenomena, such as realism and idealism; the aesthetic ambitions of imported romanticism; naturalism and the sciences; proletarian literature and the issues of class; intellectualism and anti-intellectualism; and the agonies of forging new literary traditions in the wake of a cataclysmic world war.
