I will be presenting at the 11th Language Creation Conference, April 11-13, 2025 at University of Maryland College Park Language Science Center. The presentation title is “Toki Pona and Japanese: Similarities and Challenges,” and relates how my Japanese students’ second language, English, has been interfering with their acquisition of Toki Pona. This can be seen when they have trouble with features of the language that are closer to Japanese than to English.
The abstract, and soon schedule, can be seen at this link.
