Outline
This will be a hands-on J-E workshop about how to tackle long, convoluted, messy
sentences in Japanese, the kind that stop you dead in your tracks and
motivate you to update your Facebook status instead. We will look at
strategies to more efficiently parse them, and also at ways to turn them
into serviceable English. The first part of the workshop will be a short
discussion of some techniques that the presenter finds useful, after which
we will break into smaller groups to learn how other people approach the
task. Attendees are invited to submit examples of real-life sentences
they’ve encountered for use as samples during the workshop (please remove
any information that would identify the source or breach confidentiality)
to: [email protected].
