Prereq: Linguistic Interest in Chinese/Japanese/Korean
Have you ever wondered... What is the difference between all those Asian languages? How people read those bizarre squiggles? Why actors talk so much while subtitles say so little?
Come find out! This class will cover three East Asian languages: Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. I will provide a basic background in each language and teach what no other C/J/K class offers: a cross-linguistic analysis emphasizing similarities and differences in topics from politeness-hierarchies to pronunciation.
Note: Each session will last no longer than 90minutes; extra time will be used for Q&A.
