Complementing its Japanese language program, the Japan Centre offers a Japanese linguistics program which will normally be undertaken as a Japanese Linguistics major by students also taking the Asian language major (Japanese). In these circumstances the Japanese Linguistics major may be taken in lieu of the Cognitive major, but it may alternatively be taken as an elective major. Linguistics courses cover descriptive and applied Japanese linguistics as well as translation; they include courses offered in the Linguistics and Applied Linguistics programs in the Faculty of Arts (School of Language Studies). The Faculty of Asian Studies course Language in Asia also includes contributions from staff of the Japan Centre.
