                     Le JAPONAIS 2000 INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR
                 on the Japanese Language in Theory and Practice
          organised by the UMR <<Japan's Culture>> - a common research unit of
               CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique)
                and EPHE (Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes)


The title of the next lecture is:

FROM RODRIGUEZ TO COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS - JAPANESE IN EUROPEAN LINGUISTICS

The Conference will be given in English  by

                 Prof. Viktoria ESCHBACH-SZABO
                      Tuebingen University

                FRIDAY 19 January 2001 at 4:30 p.m.
         CNRS -  Instituts des Hautes Etudes Japonaises
              52, rue Cardinal Lemoine 75231 PARIS 05

After the lecture, we kindly invite you to our reception at which wine and
snacks will be served.

Main topics of the Conference:

Japan is far from Europe but the Japanese language is today in our
environment, it plays an increasingly important role in European mass media
and advertising. My aim is not of course to describe the entire history of
language and linguistic contacts in the last 450 years, but to rethink Hubert
Maes' question from 1975 "Qu'est que ce la linguistique japonaise? (H. Maes,
1975: 4). For the future development of our work we have to

1) elaborate new questions about the way of linguistic investigation of
Japanese from Rodriguez till now
2) to show whether the Japanese-European linguistic relations are equal or not
3) to argue that the strongest and most important impact of cultural and
language relations will come from the new quality of everyday relations.

General description of the Seminar:

To meet the increasing demand for Japanese language proficiency, a series of
lectures is being given by guest scholars. The major themes focus on the
Japanese Language (its history and structure, electronic dictionaries, machine
translation technologies etc.) as well as linguistic and social problems
(verbal behaviour, networking and other aspects of the computerisation of
Japanese society).

Previous lectures were delivered by Prof. TSUJII Jun-ichi (Tokyo University),
Prof. Zoya SHALYAPINA (Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow), Prof. HOSOKAWA
Hideo (Waseda University)  Prof. IDE Sachiko (Japa n Women's University), by
Prof. Andr B;8(JLODARCZYK (University Stendhal - Grenoble 3), Prof. Romuald
HUSZCZA (Warsaw University), and Prof. IKEGAMI Yoshihiko (Professor emeritus,
University of Tokyo, currently professor at Showa Women's University).

The following lecture will be given by Dr Lone TAKEUCHI (University of London).

The Seminar is organised thanks to grants from The Japan Foundation and La
Fondation Tanaka.
