<b>Aims and Scope<br>
</b>o<x-tab> </x-tab>ICPLJ5 is
intended to bring together researchers on the cutting edge of Japanese
linguistics and to offer a forum in which their research results can
be presented in a form that is useful to those desiring practical
applications in the fields of teaching Japanese as a second/foreign
language and computer-assisted language learning (CALL)
technology.<br>
o<x-tab> </x-tab>All topics
in linguistics will be fully considered, including: phonology,
morphology, syntax, semantics, lexicon, pragmatics (discourse
analysis), second language acquisition (bilingualism).<br>
o<x-tab> </x-tab>Abstracts
submitted must represent original, unpublished research.<br>
<br>
<b>Publication<br>
</b>A book of "<b>selected papers</b>" (approximately 12)
presented at the conference will be published. The publication
of the papers enables the ideas from the conference to reach an even
larger audience around the world, further benefiting countless
researchers, teachers, and their students.<br>
<br>
<b>Conference Language<br>
</b>The length of each presentation will be thirty minutes (20 minutes
for exposition, 10 minutes for questions). Presentations may be
in either English or Japanese.<br>
<br>
