Section 2: JAPANESE LINGUISTICS & LANGUAGE TEACHING

General Topic: COGNITIVE SEMANTICS*)

Subsections: 
(1) Linguistic Theory
(2) Computational Processing (NLP, MT)
(3) Language Teaching

*) It is possible to propose a lecture with a topic from the outside
of the cognitive paradigm and not exclusively in the field of
semantics but the convenors will have to negotiate the choice of
papers with the future publishers who usually care about the coherent
character of books.
