After the lecture, we kindly invite you to our reception at which wine and

The title of the lecture is:

 ENTITY-BASED LINGUISTIC FRAMEWORK
 < the case of the Japanese and Russian Languages
 from a cross-linguistic viewpoint

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 �An Attempt at Building a Formal
Grammar of Japanese in JSPS Project� by Professor Jun-ichi TSUJII (Tokyo
University, Information Science Department)

After the summer holidays, the Seminar will resume on October 2, 2000 at
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 Hag�ge (Coll�ge de France), Prof. dr Viktoria Eschbach-Szabo
(Tuebingen Univ.), Prof. dr Ide Sachiko (Japan Women�s 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.
