Jack Halpern, president of the CJK Dictionary Institute, will discuss kanji dictionaries (especially the [url=http://www.kanji.org]New Japanese-English Character Dictionary[/url]) that provide an in-depth understanding of kanji based on new concepts and describe the CJK Dictionary Institute, which is engaged in the development of a comprehensive database covering every aspect of the ways Chinese characters are used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

Important: On Feb. 7, 2003, FCCJ requested SWET move its meeting to 4 p.m. to accommodate another important event. On Feb. 10, 2003, however, the other event was canceled, so the hour for the SWET talk has now reverted back to the original 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. slot. We apologize for the confusion. When in doubt, please check the Web site once more immediately prior to attending this event. Thank you for your understanding.
