Outline and Purpose of the Course	Language research has a long history. However, because "linguistics" is not a subject in high school curricula, many students may feel that they lack familiarity with this field of study. In this course, which is oriented toward students with no prior knowledge of linguistics, by outlining the history of language research from ancient times to the present, we will learn about modern-day research methods in linguistics, as well as the background of the formation of the concepts and terms used in this field.
Course Goals	Grasp an overview of the trends of past linguistics research and understand the circumstances of the establishment of current terms and concepts in linguistics. Master the linguistic facts of various languages as a base of fundamental knowledge, while also improving understanding of the state of language. Taking this diversity of language realities as a premise, we will learn the history in which the shared linguistic regularity backing this was discovered.
Schedule and Contents	We will examine individuals and analysis methods that have had a major effect on linguistics research, while also explaining their results. This year, all classes will be led by Shuntaro Chida. The explanations will be given in the following order. 1. Introduction: Ancient Linguistics 2-5. Pre-Saussure Linguistics Research (Language Origin Theory, Classic Typology, Comparative Linguistics) 6-8.
