conferences in Japan

[Annick.DeHouwer]

Dear colleagues,

For anyone who is not aware of this and might be interested in the
conference announced below (cf earlier posting on info-childes) please
note that between August 1 and 6 Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan, will
be hosting the 12th World Congress of Applied Linguistics (see
http://langue.hyper.chubu.ac.jp/jacet/AILA99).
Child language researchers may be particularly interested in the 4-hour
symposium I will be organising there as Convenor for the AILA Scientific
Commission on Child Language entitled: "The early acquisition of more than
one language from infancy with special reference to Japanese". I will be
happy to send out the symposium proposal and abstracts to anyone who is
interested.

The Japanese Society of Language Science (tentative name) hopes to
expand upon previous JCHAT workshops and meetings.  This society
promotes research in various areas of language sciences, such as language
acquisition, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics and discourse analysis,
and
aims to support research in language sciences by encouraging dialogue
between researchers, and by sponsoring conferences and workshops.
