This year, the Japanese/Korean Conference will celebrate its 10th
anniversary during the weekend following Hangul (Korean Alphabet) Day
(Oct. 9). With affection and appreciation, we would like to dedicate the
conference and the proceedings to the memory of Jim McCawley (1938-
1999), who was one of the founding fathers of Japanese and Korean
Linguistics in this country. To mark this very special occasion, we have
invited Jim's former students, long-time friends, and colleagues.

This conference aims to provide a forum for presenting research in
Japanese and Korean linguistics, thereby facilitating efforts to deepen our
understanding of these two languages which have striking typological
similarities. We especially encourage presentations which investigate both
languages. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, syntax,
semantics, pragmatics, discourse, typology, grammaticalization, historical
linguistics, phonology, morphology, language acquisition,
psycholinguistics, and sociolinguistics.

All the presentations, including those by invited speakers, will be 20
minutes long, and will be followed by a 10 minute question-answer period.

 -----------------------------------------------------------
Submitted items should include:

By snail mail:
1) One copy of a ONE-PAGE abstract (500 words maximum). First line
should indicate the category, Formal or Functional, followed by the sub-
field.

 For example, Formal/Syntax, Formal/Morphology, or
 Functional/Discousre, Functional/Grammaticalization,
 Functinal/Cognitive linguistics etc.).

Second line should be the paper title: Omit your name and affiliation from
the abstract. A second page may be used ONLY for examples and citing
references.

2) A 3" by 5" card with the title of the paper, the name(s) and affiliation(s)

primary author.

If your address, phone number and e-mail address will be different during
the summer, be sure to include that information.

3) EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: By e-mail: In addition to (1) and (2)
above, submit via e-mail the same abstract and the author information
described in (1) and (2) to protect the loss of information as well as to
facilitate the abstract selection process.

Please use the subject header "JK10, (your last name and first name
initial), (category, i.e., "Formal/Syntax" or
