**************************************
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. In view of the continuing
spread of COVID-19, the organizing committee decided that the conference will
be held as a virtual “real-time” conference from October 9 to 11, 2021 (Japan
Standard Time), with invited workshops planned on October 8.

Invited satellite workshops currently planned on October 8 include the following:

Pedagogical Approaches to Japanese/Korean Linguistics (accepting abstract submissions)

Data-oriented Approaches to Meaning in Korean and Japanese

https://sites.google.com/view/jkconf29/workshops/data-oriented-approaches-to-meaning-in-korean-and-japanese

JK29 will feature six invited presentations by the following distinguished
scholars:
– Dr. Taehong Cho (Hanyang University, South Korea)
– Dr. Bjarke Frellesvig (University of Oxford, UK)
– Dr. Yuki Hirose (University of Tokyo, Japan)
– Dr. Noriko Iwasaki (Nanzan University, Japan)
– Dr. Peter Sells (University of York, UK)
– Dr. Wataru Uegaki (University of Edinburgh, UK)

The Japanese/Korean Linguistics Conference (JK) is the only long-running
annual international conference on Japanese and Korean linguistics. It
attracts the highest caliber of academic research relevant to one or both
languages, including minority languages and sign languages. As in previous JK
conferences, JK29 invites papers on, for example, phonology, phonetics,
morphology, syntax, semantics, historical linguistics, discourse analysis, and
psycholinguistics of Japanese and Korean.

Second Call for Papers:

The JK29 organizing committee welcomes abstract submissions for 20-minute oral
presentations, followed by 10 minutes for discussion, and for poster
presentations. Oral presenters will make real-time presentations on Zoom
(Japan Standard Time). Special considerations may be given to oral presenters
logging in from different time zones. Poster presenters will be asked to
upload their pre-recorded presentations on the conference website in advance
(one week before the conference) and receive and respond to questions/comments
during the conference period (October 9-11) in a non-real-time fashion (e.g.
Slack (https://slack.com)). As in previous JK conferences, papers based on
oral presentations will be published by CSLI.
