Learning outcomes
This course is an introduction into the languages of East and Southeast Asia. It locates the major language families in space and time and introduces students to the fundamental literature. Students are led to work with primary sources and understand the relations between the more and less formal vernaculars in the area. Students are led to carry out a comparative study of a phenomenon of choice, placing it in the context of the area, and going into depth in the language of their specialisation. Their papers are presented at the end of the course.
