From: u:japan lectures : Department of East Asian Studies : University of Vienna <ujapanlectures.ostasien@univie.ac.at>
Date: 2023/04/28

Dear SSJ-Forum list member,

the Department of East Asian Studies - Japanese Studies at University of Vienna would like to draw your attention to the upcoming hybrid u:japan lecture:

Patrycja Duc-Harada:
"Yakuwarigo - real or fictionalized speech? How real Japanese influences role languages and how role languages are reflected in real Japanese"

Date and time: Thursday, May 4, 2023, 18:30~20:00 (CEST, UTC+2h)
The Zoom Meeting will be open from 18:15 (CEST).
Max. 50 participants (on site) + max. 300 participants (online)

The aim of this lecture by Patrycja Duc-Harada (Jagiellonian University in Cracow, Poland) is to present the widely discussed concept of yakuwarigo 'role language' from two perspectives: fictionalized speech (using examples of characteristic lines and dialogue taken from popular anime, manga and drama series), as well as real Japanese language used in private and public spheres. This discussion promises to reach interesting conclusions concerning the impact of Japanese language and culture on role and character languages, and the ways and reasons for which role languages are occasionally and intentionally implemented in real speech as a communicative strategy.   
The first part of the lecture discusses major terms (yakuwari and yakuwarigo, kyarakutā and kyarakutā gengo, kyara, rashisa, sutereotaipu, rejisutā, etc.) from the perspective of linguistic stylization and Japanese sociolinguistics. In the second part, selected examples of role languages and character languages that occur in real Japanese communication will be introduced.

This will be a hybrid event, both live at the Campus of the University of Vienna and online via Zoom. Live participation is available for 50 people.
