Call for Papers

************************************************************************
Aims and Scope
ICPLJ is intended to bring together researchers on the cutting edge of
Japanese linguistics and to offer a forum in which their research
results can be presented in a form that is useful to those desiring
practical applications in the fields of teaching Japanese as a
second/foreign language and computer-assisted language learning (CALL)
technology.

All topics in linguistics will be fully considered, including:
phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, lexicon, pragmatics
(discourse analysis), second language acquisition (bilingualism).
	
Abstracts submitted must represent original, unpublished research.

Publication
A book of selected papers presented at the conference will be
published.  The publication of the papers enables the ideas from the
conference to reach an even larger audience around the world, further
benefiting countless researchers, teachers, and their students.

Conference Language
The length of each presentation will be thirty minutes (20 minutes for
exposition, 10 minutes for questions).  Presentations may be in either
English or Japanese.

conference program book if your abstract is accepted.  Examples,
figures, tables, and references may be given on a second page.  Please
note the following: (1) All conference papers will be selected on the
basis of summaries submitted.  (2) Any information that may reveal
