Announcement
The First Symposium on discourse and syntax in Chinese and Formosan Languages
National Taiwan University, June 14-15, 1997
A two-day symposium will be held at National Taiwan University from June
14-15, 1997 on the topic of "Discourse and syntax in Chinese and Formosan
Languages". Thanks to generous funding from Taiwan's National Science
Council, 12 scholars in the fields of discourse and syntax and language
acquisition from Taiwan, Australia, Singapore and United States have been
invited to present papers at this symposium. The symposium will bring
together linguists who research Mandarin Chinese, Taiwanese, and
Austronesian languages from the perspective of functional grammar. It is our
hope that this and future symposia will stimulated further research in Chinese
and Formosan languages within the functionalist paradigm.
We strongly encourage you to pre-register for the symposium, although on-site
registration will be available. For further information about
registration, see our symposium website:
