The Japanese Society for Language Sciences aims "to stimulate research
in the language sciences based on natural language data, in areas such
as language acquisition, psycholinguistics, discourse analysis and
sociolinguistics, and to support the development of the language
sciences through exchange between researchers" (Article 2, JSLS
Regulations). The scope of this endeavor covers a wide area, including

first language acquisition, second language acquisition,

opinions and ideas between researchers working in related fields.
