(1) Aims and Scope
This conference is intended to bring together researchers on the
cutting edge of Japanese linguistics research and to offer a forum in
which linguistics research results can be presented in a form
applicable to those who might apply them in practical fields such as
teaching of Japanese as a foreign language and in language technology.

We are soliciting abstracts of papers on original and unpublished
research in any area of linguistics, including but not limited to:
phonetics, phonology, the lexicon, morphology, syntax, semantics, and
discourse pragmatics.  Authors are urged to write for those who may
not be necessarily familiar with highly specialized technical terms of
linguistics.  We expect that conference papers will be published.
