Course Overview

講座の概略：本科目は、代表的な古文の構成と内容を古語辞典等を参考にしながら理解する能力と、日本古文の基礎的な知識を学習し活用していく技能を高めることを第一目的とする。古文文法の基礎的なルールを分かりやすく説明し、解読技術を身につけるための勉強方法やポイントを紹介し、総括的ガイダンスを提供する。日本語という言語体系は一枚岩的な統一体ではなくむしろ長い歴史の中で外来の様々な深い影響を受け、特に中国の言語文化を吸収することで著しい変貌をしつづけて来た為、国民の言語生活を正に複雑なものにした。しかしながら古文の基盤は1０－１１世紀を中心とした平安時代の中期に出来上がり、貴族芸文化が見事に開花した中で公家の男女に書き残された優れた文章が、後世の和文の規範となったものである。その背景を踏まえ、このゼミでは特に平安朝の文学古文例を多く取り上げる。

次の4つの要素を軸に (特にその①に重きを置くが) 授業を展開させていく予定である。

① 言語の骨格となる品詞（特にもっとも頻繁に使われていた助動詞）の活用とシンタックスと、ことばに肉と味をつける語彙、言葉遣い、修辞法、文体など（言語の知識）
② 公家の男女の美の意識と感受性、歌の機能と構成、和歌と散文の融合など（古典文学の知識）
③ 表記法、和文・和漢混淆文の比較、漢文・漢文書き下し文が和文に及ぼした影響など (日本語史の基本知識）
④ 公家たちの家屋、手回品、衣類のほか、「こよみ」や「季節観」など（人間文化の話題）

講座の学習者には、上記に示される四つのエリアにわたって古典日本語の全貌を把持すると同時に、当時の公家の価値観・美的意識・日常生活に接し、より豊富な古典言語スキルと専門知識を身に付けていくことを期待します。

English Course Objectives and Content: This course, to be conducted as a graduate seminar and designed primarily for non-native Japanese speakers, is intended as a first introduction to the classical Japanese language, its grammar, sentence structure, and word usage in particular. It is designed to acquaint students with the pleasures of reading classical Japanese literary texts in the original. The course content will embrace the following four components, with particular emphasis on the first:

① a strong language core, emphasizing kobun grammar and common auxiliary suffix conjugations and syntactical patterns, which provide the framework for sentence formation; and the development of a knowledge of words, rhetorical usages, and style, which flesh out language, giving it flavor and richness;
② literary topics, such as the structure and rhetoric of poetry, the amalgamation of poetry, and prose in court writings, and Japanese aesthetics and literary sensibilities;
③ Japanese language history, with particular attention to writing systems and orthography, traditional wabun vs, mixed (wakan konkōbun) writing styles, the influence of Chinese vocabulary, grammar, and syntax, and other influences from kanbun traditions upon the development of the Japanese language;
④ material culture, including aspects of housing, dress, personal accessories, the calendar, and methods of reckoning time. Philosophical themes such as the Japanese awareness of the passing seasons and the ephemerality of all living things will also be treated, so that students gain a holistic understanding of the fundamentals of the classical language in its broad diversity as well as its cultural milieu.

Language did not develop monolithically as a unified entity but rather became a complex system with many variant styles under the impact of foreign languages, notably Chinese, and Japanese social and historical changes. Nevertheless, the vernacular language of the mid-Heian age remained the core of language development in successive periods. For this reason, we will draw most heavily from Heian writing samples in this course, analyzing representative texts mostly from the 9th to the 14th century. Grammatical analysis of assigned passages and English translation activities will occupy much of our class time. You will also learn the fundamentals of dictionary use, the use of textual headnotes, and the mechanics of kyū-kanazukai spellings and premodern “variant” hiragana (hentaigana), important skills for all students interested in studying texts from any period before 1950.

This course will be largely conducted in English, as discussions will be first and foremost linguistic in nature. We will also be translating into English. There will be readings and/or exercises and translations assigned each week, but the main work for students will be to master the fundamentals of Japanese grammar and vocabulary through memorization and to read and analyze thoroughly assigned passages line by line, using the techniques and knowledge gained in class. The course will be conducted as a seminar, with individual students being called upon to speak.

Grading breakdown: A (90-100) B (80-89) C (70-79) D (60-69) E (50-59).

Assessment Criteria:

Final exam: 30%
Short quizzes: 25% Note: I will drop from grade calculations any one missed or low-scoring quiz.
Homework: 20% Note: I will drop from grade calculations any one missed, late, or low-scoring assignment for all students.
Translation project: 10%
Participation/contributions/class preparation: 15%

Works to Be Read Will Be Chosen from the Following List:

“Iroha” いろは (A-B-C) poem: this poem contains each letter in the old Japanese phonetic syllabary nicely camouflaged as an imayō style 今様 poem with a Buddhist message. This renowned, anonymous, undated verse became a model for calligraphy practice and a handy syllabic inventory in the mid-Heian period. It serves as a primer of Japanese classical grammar.

A few selections from Man’yōshū 万葉集 [The Collection of Ten Thousand Leaves, ca. 759], the first anthology of Japanese poetry, all verses recorded in an experimental, now defunct script; selections from the first imperial anthology of Japanese poetry, Kokinshū 古今集, compiled 905. KKS became the model for the twenty-one imperial anthologies of the court.

A short portion of Kojiki 古事記 [Record of Ancient Matters, 712], the first Japanese work of literature, myth, and history which survives intact. Written in an experimental style of writing which mixes Japanese and Chinese forms and uses a now-defunct syllabic kanji phonogram system to record poetry. Kojiki contains more than 100 old uta, songs, which constitute the earliest recorded verse in the Japanese tradition.
Taketori monogatari 竹取物語 (early ninth century), the Bamboo’s Picker’s Tale, the first surviving Japanese tale from the Heian period. Anonymous.

An episode from the Tosa Nikki 土佐日記 (934), the first Japanese (as opposed to Chinese) literary diary from the Heian period, documenting in amusing fashion the adventurous, pirate-infested journey of a provincial governor and his wife, as they travel by sea from their provincial post in Tosa 土佐 (in modern Shikoku) back to their home in Kyoto. Written by Ki no Tsurayuki 紀貫之, a male courtier and poet of high status. He creatively adopts the persona of a female diarist, breaking new narrative ground and writing in Japanese, rather than in some form of Chinese, the usual medium employed by male intellectuals and officials for diary writing.

An episode from Ise Monogatari 伊勢物語 (ca 900), the first Heian poem-tale containing poems attributed to famous poet-lover 在原業平 Ariwara no Narihira and those in his [romantic] entourage.

“Harugasumi 春霞,” an amusing anecdote about “poetry contests” taken from the Kokoncho monjū 古今著聞集, a diverse collection of 720-plus interesting stories compiled in 1254 by a courtier named 橘成季Tachibana no Narisue.

The short tale “Sorane no Chigo そら寝の稚児” (The Child Who Feigned Sleep), from the collection of tales Uji shūi monogatari 宇治拾遺物語, compiled in the early Kamakura Period (ca 13th c).

“Anyō no Ama no Kosode 安陽の尼の小袖” [The Short-Sleeved Garment of Anyō the Nun]: a great little story from the Jikkunshō, a morally edifying story collection dating from ca 1251.

An excerpt from Hōjōki 方丈記 [Record of My Ten-Foot Square Hut, 1212], a classic work in the zuihitsu essay tradition by Kamo no Chōmei.

Kanbun materials: Shōmonki, 940, the first war tale; and/or excerpts from courtier diaries such as Midō kanpakuki, the private journal of Fujiwara no Michinaga.
　　

Keywords : Classical Japanese, Kobun, Heian vernacular prose, Chinese, kakikudashi-bun, verbal suffixes, kanbun, Japanese classical culture

Prerequisites : This course is aimed at graduate students or others with advanced standing who have reached at least the nikyū level of Japanese study.
Required Ability : This course is mainly taught in English, with the use of Japanese for discussing textual features; a high level of written and oral competency in English and Japanese is expected.
