A grammar of the Japanese language 3600-7-JA2-GJJ3
The exercises deal with issues of modern standard Japanese (known as hyōjungo) in phonetics, syntax, inflection, vocabulary, etc. The constructions learned, etc. are introduced accordingly to the material discussed in the language block classes
(specialty subjects).
Emphasis is placed on the practical mastery of sentence formation skills, the automatic use of grammatical structures and the correctness of their application in appropriate constructions; the functional use of individual parts of speech, with particular attention to those that are important for grammar (particles, etc.); the ability to construct correct simple and complex sentences, as well as correct translation.
Elements of linguistic pragmatics are also introduced.
