Speaker: 
Yosuke Yanase (Hiroshima University)

Learning to communicate in a foreign language is a highly demanding task, and it may be compared to learning Budo (martial arts): the capability to deal with the almost unlimited possibilities that real combat offers. This presentation will deal with the issues of consciousness/non-consciousness, mind/body, and 'sensitivity', and how they are related to speaking and writing in particular.
