[Junko Mori]

The 15th Japanese/Korean Linguistics Conference will be held October 7-9,
2005, on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. 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.  The
invited speakers include Masayoshi Shibatani (Rice University), Patricia
Clancy (University of California, Santa Barbara), Yoshiko Matsumoto
(Stanford University), and Chung-hey Han (Simon Fraser University).

long and will be followed by a 10-minute question and answer period.

to an email message to eall at mailplus.wisc.edu by May 1, 2005.  You may use a
