Call for Papers

(2nd Call for Papers, posted on April 13th, 2021)

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.

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.

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

Notification of acceptance: June 30th, 2021
