The result of the research will be published in the form of books and articles, and on the web-site as well.The research in the program questioning the structure of the modern world itself, will help understanding the historical background of the contemporary problems of African countries, such as military conict and refugees, political autocracy, social discrimination, etc. and contribute to the fundamental solution of these problems.ILCAA Joint Research Projects, conducted by the members of the institute in collaboration with researchers outside the institute, constitute the core of research activities at ILCAA as the International Research Center for the Languages and Cultures of Asia and Africa. Members of all the projects who are not regular staff at ILCAA are all given an afliation with ILCAA as Joint Researchers.The Joint Research Projects are evaluated annually by the Advisory Committee for Research Collaboration, which includes researchers within and outside ILCAA. Projects are evaluated in terms of all of their activities, including their output, publications of the results, and their overall academic signicance.Research results of Joint Research Projects in the past include about 600 publications and on-line dictionaries and databases that are available for use by any researchers and the general public.http://www.aa.tufs.ac.jp/en/projects/jrp/Ongoing Projects in 2011(Projects are categorized into three groups, linguistics, anthropology, and history/area studies; however, many of them are interdisciplinary in nature.)Missionary Linguistics (2nd stage)Project term: April, 2009 – March, 2012Coordinator: TOYOSHIMA, MasayukiDuring the “Grand Voyage Era” through the 16th and 17th centuries, dictionaries, grammars, as well as doctrines and disciplines of Christianity were produced both in Latin/Spanish/Portuguese and in the languages that were targets of the propaganda. “Missionary Linguistics” is a comparatively young branch of the history of linguistics, which treats these documents as testimonies of the rst encounter of the Latin grammar with the languages that are fundamentally different from Latin, in Asia, Africa, and South America.Joint Research ProjectsLinguistics
