For my postwar survey I translated a paragraph of it, along with a few other recent things, just so I can introduce "the contemporary scene" to the class. They definitely seem a bit puzzled. I've also taught the first few pages in an upper-level translation seminar, where the students can read Japanese. Their reaction was basically: "I thought I could read Japanese. I guess I was wrong." But for some of them that was an exhilarating experience. Linguistically, it really makes you focus on what you know about how the language works, really reason it out.<br /><br />But the experiences forced me to look more closely at what she's doing, and while I'm not sure I enjoy the book any more than I did the first time, I probably appreciate it more. Respect it more, is probably the word.Tanukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00010917992146986329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114353219480265259.post-72705886599397152472014-08-04T00:50:53.895-07:002014-08-04T00:50:53.895-07:00I'm interested to hear more about how Kuroda g...I'm interested to hear more about how Kuroda goes down in undergraduate (I assume) classes.Matthttp://no-sword.jp/blog/noreply@blogger.com
