CALL FOR PAPERS
Workshop on Language Change in Japan and East Asia
University of Sheffield, UK
21st-23rd May 1999

DEADLINE: All submissions must be received by January 10,
1999.

This workshop aims to provide a forum for presenting
research on language change in Japanese and other East Asian
languages (Chinese, Korean), putting language change in the
individual languages into a broader East Asian context. We
especially encourage presentations which investigate more
than one language. Potential topics include, but are not
limited to: emergence of vernacular vs Classical language,
historical phonology, Japanese-Korean-Altaic relationship,
historical syntax, neologism, loanwords, English influence,
standardisation and the fate of dialects or minority
languages, role of kanji, etc. Abstracts submitted must
represent original, unpublished research. Presentations will
be 20 minutes long, plus 10 minutes for questions and
discussion.

Please submit:

1) a clearly titled 1 page abstract for review. Examples
and references may be given on a second page. If your paper
is accepted, this abstract will be included in the
conference handbook. No changes in the title or the authors'
names will be possible after acceptance.

2) for EACH author, one copy of the information form printed
at the bottom of this message.

Please include a self-addressed, stamped postcard for
acknowledgment of receipt. Notice of acceptance or rejection
will be sent by March, 1999. Pre-registration materials and
a preliminary programme schedule will also be available in
March, 1999.

It is anticipated that a volume based on papers presented at
the workshop will be published.
