Subjects and Methodological Problems in Contrastive and Comparative Studies of Slavic Languages and Literatures

1. 使在日本出版的斯拉夫研究资料更容易从国外获得。建立新的研究网络，推动日斯拉夫比较研究。第一项任务是将斯拉夫研究论文的书目目录转换为电子格式，并将其纳入一个共同数据库。2006年，我们在我们的网站上提供了这个数据库和一个专门的搜索引擎。我们也一直在为参加将于今年晚些时候在马其顿举行的第十四届斯拉夫主义者国际大会做准备。我们组织了一个代表团，召开了研究会议，讨论了未来在国内的共同事业以及在国外推广日本斯拉夫研究的方法。为了实现第二个目标，我们为来自斯拉夫国家的年轻研究人员在日本攻读学位提供了帮助。我们在2005年安排了会议和讨论，为他们提供了报告自己研究的机会。在斯洛文尼亚加入欧盟后不久，我们还加强了与斯洛文尼亚从事日语教育的研究人员的合作。2006年，我们专门组织了一次研究会议，取得了令人满意的结果。2007年，我们在新创办的英文期刊《斯拉夫语言与文学比较与对比研究》创刊号上发表了上述会议报告及其他斯拉夫语言与非斯拉夫语言比较研究论文。为了审查国内斯拉夫研究的成就和评价国外的研究趋势，东、西、南斯拉夫地区的三个工作组调查了各自领域的出版材料。他们的工作成果汇集在一起，以五年出版一次的书目目录出版

1. Making Slavic research materials published in Japan more accessible from abroad.2. Establishing a new research network and promoting Japanese-Slavic comparative studies through it.The first task involved the conversion of bibliographical catalogues of Slavic research papers to electronic format and incorporating them into a common database. In 2006, we made that database available on our website together with a specialized search engine. We have also been preparing for our participation in the XIV International Congress of Slavists to be held in Macedonia later this year. We have organized a delegation, held research meetings and discussed future joint undertakings at home as well as ways to promote Japanese Slavic research abroad.In pursuing our second objective, we offered assistance to young researchers from Slavic countries striving to obtain degrees in Japan. We created opportunities for them to report on their own research in 2005 by arranging meetings and discussions. We also strengthened our cooperation with researchers engaged in Japanese language education in Slovenia, shortly after its accession to the EU. Again, this was done through a specially organized research meeting in 2006 which produced very satisfactory results. In 2007, we published the reports delivered at the above-mentioned events, as well as other papers involving comparative research between Slavic and non-Slavic languages in the first issue of a newly-created English language journal, "Comparative and Contrastive Studies in Slavic Languages and Literatures".In order to examine the achievements of Slavic research at home and evaluate research trends abroad, three work-groups covering the East, West and South Slavic regions investigated published material in their respective areas. The results of their work are brought together and published in five-yearly bibliographical catalogues
