“Language” is the medium by which we preserve, communicate, and continue cultures. This department provides a wide variety of research ranging from scientific research on laws and constituents within language structures, aesthetic research on artistic works from various countries, to linguistic research focusing on language itself. Through personal selection of research fields, students are able to commit to developing their own interests and knowledge base. The department offers three courses : East- Asian Language and Literature, Euro- American Language and Literature, and Trans-regional Studies of Language and Literature. Investigatory approaches are divided into the following four categories:Literature Studies for aesthetic research on literary works from various countries, Linguistic Studies of Literature engaging in linguistic analysis, Comparative Literature Studies, and finally, Linguistics Studies. These final two categories, which are offered by few institutions in Japan, expand the research opportunities available to students and give the department a unique flavor.
