The conference series German Linguistics between Cologne and Tokyo (GAKT) is a cooperation between the University of Cologne and the University of Tokyo.
Since 2016, Yoshiki Mori and Klaus von Heusinger (the Department of Linguistics at the Institute for German Language and Literature I, the University of Cologne) have been organizing an annual conference at which doctoral students from both universities can present their current research work to a broad audience.
The main goal of the conference series is to examine selected language phenomena of German and Japanese from a contrastive perspective, to compare them with each other and to embed them in a theoretical discussion. Especially investigations on typologically unrelated languages often lead to a striking linguistic diversity.
GAKT offers a forum for current research and linguistic questions from Japanese and German. It promotes academic exchange and international cooperation between doctoral students between Cologne and Tokyo.
