Meeting Description:

The 25th Japanese/Korean Linguistics Conference (JK25) will take place in
Honolulu, HI, from October 12 to 14, 2017. JK 25 will feature a special
session on endangered and understudied languages and dialects in Japan and
Korea. 


2nd Call for Papers:

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 late-July.

Abstract Submission: Abstracts should be submitted as PDF files via EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jk25

When submitting your abstract through EasyChair, please enter the title of
your abstract and type ''the file uploaded'' in the spaces under ''Title and
Abstract'' and upload the PDF file of your abstract using ''Uploads''. Please
use the space under ''Keywords'' to (i) enter four/five keywords that describe
