80th Anniversary Symposium: Eighty years after the founding LSJ president Izuru Shinmura: the present state of linguistics and its future
This year marks the eightieth anniversary of the founding of the Linguistic Society of Japan in 1938 with Izuru Shinmura as its first president. Shinmura presided over the LSJ for a remarkable thirty years until 1967. Although the times were characterized by war and significant social change, Shinmura succeeded in laying the foundations of the LSJ, greatly facilitating the qualitative and quantitative advancement of the field of linguistics in Japan. In the fifty years since, the LSJ has grown substantially and linguistics itself has undergone a manifold development. In this symposium, researchers from three core areas of linguistic study will present papers detailing how their respective fields have advanced since the founding of the LSJ and what directions their fields may take in the future. Each presentation will be complemented with discussion by a commentator and audience questions.
