This year, the Japanese/Korean Conference will celebrate its 10th
anniversary during the weekend following Hangul (Korean Alphabet) Day
(Oct. 9).  With affection and appreciation, we would like to dedicate the
conference and the proceedings to the memory of Jim McCawley (1938-
1999), who was one of the founding fathers of Japanese and Korean
Linguistics in this country.  To mark this very special occasion, we have
invited Jim's former students, long-time friends, and colleagues.

This conference aims to provide a forum for presenting research in
Japanese and Korean linguistics, thereby facilitating efforts to deepen our
understanding of these two languages which have striking typological
similarities.  We especially encourage presentations which investigate both
languages.  Potential topics include, but are not limited to, syntax,
semantics, pragmatics, discourse, typology, grammaticalization, historical
linguistics, phonology, morphology, language acquisition,
psycholinguistics, and sociolinguistics.

All the presentations, including those by invited speakers, will be 20
minutes long, and will be followed by a 10 minute question-answer period.

             -----------------------------------------------------------
