 ****** JSLAR-panel at PacSLRF96 *****
 -------------------------------------------------
The convenors of the next PacSLRF-conference and Manfred Pienemann from
the Australian National University are planning a panel on JSLAR.
PacSLRF is a biannual conference on Second Language Acquisition Research in
the Pacific region. The next PacSLRF will be held in Wellington, New
Zealand, from January 30th to February 2nd 1996

The JSLAR-panel will focus on cognitive aspects of the acquisition of
Japanese. The first part will consist of 4-6 presentations, which serve to
highlight areas and results of current research and should not exceed ten
minutes.

The presentations will be followed by a panel discussion with the
presenting researchers. Two facilitators will lead the discussion:
Manfred Pienemann will represent the cognitive aspects of language
acquisition, while the other facilitator, still to be announced, will
address aspects of Japanese linguistics.

The panel discussion will last for 1.5 to 2 hours. Facilities for a
video-link to places in New Zealand, Australia, Japan and the U.S. will be
provided.

If you are interested in joining the panel or a video-link, please enquire

Please send proposals for a presentation ASAP to Prof Pienemann (see
