Meeting Description:

The 25th Japanese/Korean Linguistics Conference (JK25) will take place in
Honolulu, HI, from October 12 to 14, 2017. This year's JK will feature a
special session on endangered and understudied languages and dialects in Japan
and Korea (see below). We will also celebrate the contributions to JK and
Korean linguistics by Dr. Ho-Min Sohn, who recently retired from his faculty
position at University of Hawai'i at Mānoa, and commemorate the recent passing
of Dr. Noriko Akatsuka and celebrate her contributions to JK and Japanese
linguistics.

Invited Speakers: JK25 will feature five invited presentations by the
following distinguished scholars: 

Dr. Nayoung Kwon (Konkuk University)
Dr. Seongha Rhee (Hankuk University of Foreign Studies)
Dr. Masayoshi Shibatani (Rice University)
Dr. Natsuko Tsujimura (Indiana University)
Dr. Timothy Vance (NINJAL & University of Hawai'i at Mānoa)


Call for Papers:

The organizing committee for JK25 welcomes abstract submissions for 20-minute
presentations followed by 10 minutes for discussion. 

General Sessions:

Contributions to any aspect of Japanese/Korean linguistics, or comparison of
these languages with other languages, are welcome. Comparative studies of
Japanese and Korean are especially encouraged. 

The Special Session on Endangered and Understudied Languages and Dialects in
Japan and Korea (organized by Shoichi Iwasaki & William O'Grady): The
organizers of JK25 would like to solicit papers on endangered and understudied
languages and dialects in Japan and Korea. This is part of our effort to raise
awareness of unique languages and dialects found in the two countries,
including the languages of the Ryukyus and of Jeju Island. We welcome papers
on any aspect of these and other understudied languages and dialects in the
two countries. Our plan is to present introductory remarks on the endangered
and/or understudied languages and dialects of Japan and Korea, followed by
four presentations, to be selected from submissions. Our goal is to select the
presentations that best illustrate the importance of the minority languages of
Japan and Korea to the field of Japanese/Korean linguistics. If we decide that
a submitted abstract fits better in the general session, we will forward it to
the relevant selection committee.

Abstract Format: 

Abstracts must be anonymous and must present original research that has not
been published. Abstracts  must be in English, one-page long, in a 12-point or
larger font, with one inch margins at all sides and data and references on the
second page, if necessary Authors may be the first or sole author of at most
one abstract, and may be a non-first co-author of any number of abstracts. The
deadline for abstract submission is May 29, 2017. Authors will be notified by
