Outline (in English)

【授業の概要（Course Outline）】
We human beings use language as a means of communication. However, when we come to think how we use our organs to speak, how we interpret speech, how we we learn to speak; we realise that we are not at all conscious of actual challenges. The objective of this course is to consider these problems which are totally dropped out of our consciousness.

【到達目標（Learning Objectives）】
They are four-fold:

1. to know the basic methodology for linguistic descriptions,
2. to compare linguistic descriptions to decide which are the good ones,
3. to to know the wide varieties of human languages,
4. to know various subfields of linguistics.

【授業時間外の学習（Learning Activities Outside of Classroom）】
Actual class sessions are all based on the Powerpoint slides (about 200 slides in all!) all prepared beforehand. So, in order to make the most of them you should:

- download and print out the slides and skim over them;
- attend the class w/the printed-out slides, concentrate on the contents of the lecture, and take as many notes as you can;
- visit the LMS site, and check the comments made by the instructor; and
- read the books/articles mentioned on the LMS site for further comprehension.

Should you have any trouble in taking realtime online class session, you can get access to the recorded educational material. Please check the LMS site for details.

【成績評価の方法と基準（Grading Criteria /Policy）】
- Please note that attendance is taken for granted. However, if you miss a class, the following rule is applied: 1 demerit for each class missed. 3 demerits = -10% on your grade (roughly one letter grade). 5 demerits = failure for the course.
- The Final exam scheduled on the day of the final class session is very important, literally determining your grade. Please see my message on the LMS site for more information.

Any modification to the above shall be known to you by using LMS

Based on the grading criteria set by the instructor, students that successfully achieve 60% or more of course goals will be able to earn a passing grade for the course.
