全学自由研究ゼミナール　(The Value of Language - From Multilingualism to Technology (言語の価値 - 多言語主義から技術まで))

This seminar explores how language and language use creates and enables the exchange of value in the global society from the historical perspective to the 21st century digital era. We begin with an introduction to the history and philosophy of language, discuss how language shapes the way we think and interact, and how verbal and non-verbal communication influence how we perceive ourselves and other actors in our daily lives. We will then look at the role of language in the creation of economic and societal value, as well as explore the role of technological innovations, including machine translation, automated speech recognition and the Internet in general, that enable and enhance value creation through mediating and transforming language use. This seminar will also introduce guest speakers from the field of language training and linguistics.
