SHALYAPINA Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow) on THURSDAY 15 June 2000 at 3:00 pm CNRS - Instituts des Hautes Etudes Japonaises 52, rue Cardinal Lemoine 75231 PARIS 05 Underground Station: Cardinal Lemoine After the lecture, we kindly invite you to our reception at which wine and snacks will be served. The title of the lecture is: ENTITY-BASED LINGUISTIC FRAMEWORK < the case of the Japanese and Russian Languages from a cross-linguistic viewpoin The lecture is concerned with the problems of describing Japanese in an entity-based linguistic framework developed as a universal means of representing linguistic knowledge and processing. The framework being designed, among other things, for arranging lingware in a computational environment for experimentation in automatic translation, attention is focussed on the more conspicuous peculiarities of Japanese taken in a cross-linguistic perspective. An additional discussion panel on the subject of JaRAP (the Japanese-Russian Automatic Translation System) is being programmed but the schedule will be announced later or during the main lecture. The title of the previous lecture was ³An Attempt at Building a Formal Grammar of Japanese in JSPS Project² by Professor Jun-ichi TSUJII (Tokyo University, Information Science Department) After the summer holidays, the Seminar will resume on October 2, 2000 a 4:30 p.m. with the participation of Prof. Hosokawa Hideo (Waseda Univ.). The following lectures (on average twice a month) will be given by Prof. dr Claude Hagège (Collège de France), Prof. dr Viktoria Eschbach-Szabo (Tuebingen Univ.), Prof. dr Ide Sachiko (Japan Women¹s Univ.), among others. Another call for participation will be sent later. 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). The Seminar is organised thanks to grants from The Japan Foundation and La Fondation Tanaka. |
