Call for Papers: 16th Japanese/Korean Linguistics Conference

The 16th Japanese/Korean Linguistics Conference will be held October 7-9, 2006, 
on the campus of Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan. 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. Papers in all 
sub-areas of Japanese and Korean linguistics are invited. Presentations, except 
for those by the keynote speakers, will be 20 minutes long and will be followed 
by a 10-minute question and answer period.

Please submit abstracts (one page, 500 words maximum) as a PDF file attached to 
an email message to [jk16 at ling.bun.kyoto-u.ac.jp] by May 20, 2006. You may use 
a second page for references and/or example sentences. The first line of your 
abstract should indicate the category (Formal or Functional), followed by the 
sub-field (e.g., Formal/Syntax, Functional/Discourse, etc.). The second line 
should be the paper title. Omit your name and affiliation from the abstract. In 
the body of your email message, include name(s) and affiliation(s), address, 
phone number, and email address. Use the following subject header for your 
email: "JK16, Last name, First Initial." Please note that only one abstract 
from each individual can be considered for acceptance. One individual abstract 
or one jointly authored abstract may be submitted.
