HIRAMEKI TOKIMEKI SCIENCE 2018 "Time machine-less travel to the past: Visualization of classical and modern Japanese"

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. Let's discuss linguistics together!

This is the 4th year. We have the event on Wednesday August 1st, 10:00-17:00. at the 1 st building lounge.
Would you like to talk about linguistics with Graduate school students and international students?
What kind of field of study is linguistics?
What kind of place is University?
What kind of daily life is a University professor?
Why is Professor Yamamoto doing research on linguistics at Tokyo Institute of Technology?
We will respond to various questions received from all the past participants until now.
As usual, any questions are welcomed.
How do you calculate and compare old language and current language using computers?
How words are used in literature?
What are the differences between Japanese and other languages?

Walking on our campus, eating sandwiches together, enjoying cookie time, it is a full day event!
Let's enjoy the fantastic summer day at Tokyo Institute of Technology.
