missionary around the same time).


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), and by Prof. AndrZ^ WLODARCZYK
(University Stendhal - Grenoble 3), Prof. Romuald HUSZCZA (Warsaw
University).

The following lectures will be given by Prof. Viktoria ESCHBACH-SZABO
(Tuebingen University), Dr Lone TAKEUCHI (University of London) among
others. Another call for participation will be sent later.

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