And there we have it. JSAA's 2021 Conference is complete. Thank you to everyone who made it possible and participated. Hopefully one day we will see each other in person once more!

If you move to Japan and you do not know the language make sure you learn this one word, and you'll be fine: あのううう

[JSAA 2021 @JSAA2021]

And we're off: welcome everyone to Roger Pulvers' workshop!

[JSAA 2021 @JSAA2021]

Fantastic commentary from Roger Pulvers about the difference between a direct translation and a good one. #JSAA2021

[JSAA 2021 @JSAA2021]

In addition the Postgraduate @jsaaworkshop21 organised by @wilkinson_aoife and Rebecca Hausler included 60 registered postgrads and ECRs, from over 8 different countries, and 20 different institutions!

Some fun statistics for the conference: after three days of the conference we have had: 100 presenters across 32 panels, 159 registrations, 2 key notes, and 3 special events!

[JSAA 2021 @JSAA2021]

As Roger Pulvers puts it: Japanese are fond of calling their language “unique.” What do they mean by this and are there grounds for this belief? What elements of the Japanese language present problems for non-Japanese people who speak and translate the language?

[JSAA 2021 @JSAA2021]

And just like that in 15 minutes time for the Closing Ceremony! My goodness, so quick!

[JSAA 2021 @JSAA2021]

Our final event of the conference is also our final event with Roger Pulvers, a workshop entitled “The Subculture of the Japanese Language”. #JSAA2021
