Discontinuation of meeting handbooks. Abstracts and websites for presentation materials and recordings newly available instead.

The Linguistic Society of Japan (LSJ) has traditionally published the meeting proceedings (the handbook). Following the decisions made at the recent Board of Councilors meeting, (1) LSJ will discontinue the publication of the meeting handbooks after the 168th meeting, and (2) LSJ will start publishing a “Book of Abstracts” and also launch “Pages for Materials and Videos” from the 169th meeting onwards.

  • The Book of Abstracts will include the abstracts for the oral presentations and poster presentations.
  • The Book of Abstracts will be published on the LSJ website (just like the meeting handbooks published there until 168th meeting).
  • The “Pages for Materials and Videos” will include the following:
    • Materials provided by presenters about their presentations (slides, handouts, etc.)
    • Videos recorded by the conference organizing committee (these will be available a few days after the conference)
  • Access to the “Pages for Materials and Videos” will be restricted to registered participants. The Pages will be closed after a certain period after the conference.
