Language changes with times. The meaning of a word today is often not exactly what it was in the past. Time machines and audio recordings of classical Japanese do not exist, but it is possible to decipher how words were used in sentences long time ago. Professor Hilofumi Yamamoto takes you to the world of classical Japanese language using visualization methods.
Today, each of you is going to study linguistics as a university student of Tokyo Tech.
Let's start with the self-introduction.

This is an original workbook that is not sold anywhere.
Let's discuss in the group and write a note now.
You can complete your homework project during summer vacation with this workbook.
We toured the university for the walking time.
We heard the explanation of the man power plane from the team leader of Meister, we were surprised at the lightness against its size.
