Meeting Description:

The 29th Japanese/Korean Linguistics Conference (JK29), jointly hosted by
Nagoya University and the National Institute for Japanese Language and
Linguistics (NINJAL), will take place at Nagoya University, Japan, from 9 to
11 October 2021, with satellite events on 8 October. It should be noted that
JK 29 may be held as a virtual conference amid a pandemic. We are planning to
make a decision on whether JK29 will be a physical or virtual conference by
the end of June at the latest.

The JK29 organizing committee welcomes abstract submissions for 20-minute oral presentations, followed by 10 minutes for discussion, and for poster presentations.

Contributions to any aspect of Japanese/Korean linguistics, or comparison of these languages with other languages, are welcome. Comparative studies of Japanese and Korean are especially encouraged.

Deadline for abstract submission: May 8th, 2021, 11:59 pm (GMT)

Notification of acceptance: June 30th, 2021

Abstract guidelines:
• Abstracts must be anonymous and must present original research that has not been published.
• Abstracts should be written in English and not exceed two pages in total. References, examples and/or figures can be included on the second page. Alternatively, text examples can be incorporated in text to improve readability.
• Submitted abstracts must be in .pdf format, with Times New Roman font, size 12, 1 inch margins and single spacing on a A4 or letter size paper. The filename must be in the form Paper_title.pdf (e.g., Logical_structure_of_linguistic_theory.pdf).
• Do not include author names or affiliations in either the filename or the abstract itself.
• Authors may submit one abstract as first author, and may be co-author on no more than one additional abstract. In other words, one may be an author on up to two submissions, but first author on only one of those.
