 CALL FOR PAPERS

 8th Japanese/Korean Linguistics Conference


 Cornell University ~ LSA Summer Institute
 July 25 - 27, 1997

The Japanese/Korean Conference provides a forum for linguistic
research about Japanese and Korean, thereby deepening our
understanding of these two languages, which have striking typological
similarities. We especially encourage presentations that investigate
both languages.

Topics include (but are not limited to): syntax, semantics, typology,
discourse, pragmatics, grammaticalization, historical linguistics,
phonology, phonetics, morphology, first- and second language
acquisition, psycholinguistics, and sociolinguistics.

Presentations are 20 minutes long and will be followed by a 10-minute
discussion.

The proceedings of this conference will be published as
Japanese/Korean Linguistics 8 - CSLI, and distributed by Cambridge
University Press.
