I'm resending in a different format with the hope that it arrives in intelligible form. Dorothy Disterheft_________________________________________ HISTLING moderator SECOND OXFORD-KOBE LINGUISTICS SEMINAR INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON THE HISTORY AND STRUCTURE OF JAPANESE KOBE, JAPAN, 26-29 SEPTEMBER 2004 INTRODUCTION: The Second Oxford-Kobe Linguistics Seminar, an International Symposium on the History and Structure of Japanese, is being organized at the Kobe Institute (Kobe, Japan) by Bjarke Frellesvig (University of Oxford), Masayoshi Shibatani (Rice University), and John Charles Smith (University of Oxford) between 26 and 29 September 2004. The First Oxford-Kobe Linguistics Seminar, entitled 'Language Change and Historical Linguistics', was held in April 2002. Following the enormous success of this event, the Kobe Institute of St Catherine's College (University of Oxford) has agreed to sponsor a Second Linguistics Seminar, in September 2004, and feels that the most felicitous focus for this meeting is the history and structure of the Japanese language. Once again, the aim of the Seminar is to bring together leading authorities in the field and invite them to summarize their position in 'state of the art' papers, and simultaneously to promote collaboration and scholarly exchange between academic colleagues from Japan and other countries in a relaxed and convivial environment. We invite everyone with an interest in the history and structure of Japanese to join us on this occasion. A special welcome is extended to younger scholars and to graduate students. THE KOBE INSTITUTE: The Kobe Institute of St. Catherine's College (University of Oxford), in Kobe, Japan, is an independent non-profit-making organization. It was established in September 1991 by donations from Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture and more than 100 companies all over Japan. The Institute was established with the objectives of stimulating and facilitating intellectual exchange between Japan and other nations, and is maintained with financial support from corporate sources. 1997 saw the establishment, as part of this programme, of the Oxford-Kobe seminars, which aim to bring together researchers in a particular discipline to discuss the 'state of the art' in their area of expertise. The seminar programme is sustained in part with income from external sponsors. The Seminar will be held in the Institute's buildings, a purpose-built independent academic complex at the foot of Rokko Mountain, with outstanding views over the city of Kobe and Osaka Bay. The Institute has a library, a computing room with e-mail facilities, a lecture theatre, seminar rooms, common rooms, dining rooms and bar facilities. There is also a television room with satellite television. Information on the Kobe Institute, including access maps, photographs, and an account of its history, can be found at: http://www.kobeinst.org SEMINAR TIMETABLE: The Seminar will begin in the late afternoon/early evening on Sunday, 26 September 2004, with Registration and a Welcome Reception. The three days from Monday, 27 September to Wednesday 29 September, inclusive, will be devoted to papers and discussion. It is suggested that participants should arrive during the morning or early afternoon of Sunday, 26 September, and leave on Thursday, 30 September. All papers will be invited plenary lectures and will last 50-55 minutes. The language of the Seminar will be English. SEMINAR PROGRAMME: The following scholars have agreed to give papers at the Seminar: Bjarke Frellesvig (University of Oxford) Taro Kageyama (Kwansei Gakuin University) Satoshi Kinsui (Osaka University) Susumu Kuno (Harvard University) S.-Y. Kuroda (University of California San Diego) Wesley Jacobsen (Harvard University) Vera Podlesskaya (Russian State University for Humanities in Moscow) Leon Serafim (University of Hawai'i) Masayoshi Shibatani (Rice University) Shoko Hamano (George Washington University) Lone Takeuchi (SOAS, University of London) Yukinori Takubo (Kyoto University) James Unger (Ohio State University) Timothy Vance (University of Arizona) Alexander Vovin (University of Hawai'i) John Whitman (Cornell University) A detailed programme, including titles and abstracts of papers, will be available in the Spring. PARTICIPATION -- PAPERS AND POSTER SESSION: The working language of the Seminar will be English. All papers will be plenary, and will be followed by discussion. Although the papers at the Seminar will be by invitation only, a period will be set aside for poster presentations. This session is intended primarily as an opportunity for younger scholars, including graduate students, to present their work. We welcome proposals for poster presentations, abstracts of which (not exceeding 250 words) should be emailed (preferably as .pdf attachments, or, failing that, as .rtf files; .doc format should be avoided) to BOTH Bjarke Frellesvig AND Masayoshi Shibatani at the following addresses by 1 May 2004: bjarke.frellesvig at hertford.ox.ac.uk matt at rice.edu Any queries about the organization and content of the Seminar should also be emailed to the same addresses, or to John Charles Smith, at: johncharles.smith at stcatz.ox.ac.uk REGISTRATION: There will be a registration fee of JPY10,000 (approx.

Message-ID: Dear colleagues, This message from John Charles Smith arrived garbled in many peoples' mailboxes last week. I'm resending in a different format with the hope that it arrives in intelligible form. Dorothy Disterheft_________________________________________ HISTLING moderator SECOND OXFORD-KOBE LINGUISTICS SEMINAR INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON THE HISTORY AND STRUCTURE OF JAPANESE KOBE, JAPAN, 26-29 SEPTEMBER 2004 INTRODUCTION: The Second Oxford-Kobe Linguistics Seminar, an International Symposium on the History and Structure of Japanese, is being organized at the Kobe Institute (Kobe, Japan) by Bjarke Frellesvig (University of Oxford), Masayoshi Shibatani (Rice University), and John Charles Smith (University of Oxford) between 26 and 29 September 2004. The First Oxford-Kobe Linguistics Seminar, entitled 'Language Change and Historical Linguistics', was held in April 2002. Following the enormous success of this event, the Kobe Institute of St Catherine's College (University of Oxford) has agreed to sponsor a Second Linguistics Seminar, in September 2004, and feels that the most felicitous focus for this meeting is the history and structure of the Japanese language. Once again, the aim of the Seminar is to bring together leading authorities in the field and invite them to summarize their position in 'state of the art' papers, and simultaneously to promote collaboration and scholarly exchange between academic colleagues from Japan and other countries in a relaxed and convivial environment. We invite everyone with an interest in the history and structure of Japanese to join us on this occasion. A special welcome is extended to younger scholars and to graduate students. THE KOBE INSTITUTE: The Kobe Institute of St. Catherine's College (University of Oxford), in Kobe, Japan, is an independent non-profit-making organization. It was established in September 1991 by donations from Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture and more than 100 companies all over Japan. The Institute was established with the objectives of stimulating and facilitating intellectual exchange between Japan and other nations, and is maintained with financial support from corporate sources. 1997 saw the establishment, as part of this programme, of the Oxford-Kobe seminars, which aim to bring together researchers in a particular discipline to discuss the 'state of the art' in their area of expertise. The seminar programme is sustained in part with income from external sponsors. The Seminar will be held in the Institute's buildings, a purpose-built independent academic complex at the foot of Rokko Mountain, with outstanding views over the city of Kobe and Osaka Bay. The Institute has a library, a computing room with e-mail facilities, a lecture theatre, seminar rooms, common rooms, dining rooms and bar facilities. There is also a television room with satellite television. Information on the Kobe Institute, including access maps, photographs, and an account of its history, can be found at: http://www.kobeinst.org SEMINAR TIMETABLE: The Seminar will begin in the late afternoon/early evening on Sunday, 26 September 2004, with Registration and a Welcome Reception. The three days from Monday, 27 September to Wednesday 29 September, inclusive, will be devoted to papers and discussion. It is suggested that participants should arrive during the morning or early afternoon of Sunday, 26 September, and leave on Thursday, 30 September. All papers will be invited plenary lectures and will last 50-55 minutes. The language of the Seminar will be English. SEMINAR PROGRAMME: The following scholars have agreed to give papers at the Seminar: Bjarke Frellesvig (University of Oxford) Taro Kageyama (Kwansei Gakuin University) Satoshi Kinsui (Osaka University) Susumu Kuno (Harvard University) S.-Y.
