| 授業概要 |
| Recently there has been much concern in post-modern studies, particularly by Derrida and more eminently, by Heidegger, about the traditional and historical field of etymology. Etymology had been almost forgotten by linguists who relegated it to the work of "philologers" of the nineteenth century. |

The course will begin with a history of etymological studies from ancient times and particularly with the Platonic emphasis in the Cratylus.
The high point of etymology in the nineteenth century will be studied in some detail with reference to Hermann Paul.
The reasons for the ensuing lack of interest in etymology for the first half of the twentieth century will be examined.
The emergence of a new etymology, coming from philosophic sources, will centre chiefly on the works of Heidegger and Derrida.
Particularly stressed will be Heideggers's chapter,“On the Grammar and Etymology of 'Being'”，as well as Derrida's“Spurs”．
The theory that etymology cannot serve as a basis for word definitions will be discussed with particular reference to Jean Paulhan. |
