linguistics, involving hundred-ish languages of over ten families.

languages and dialects in China, the Department of Chinese Language and
Literature (Key Disciplines at the Provincial Level), College of Humanities,
Changshu Institute of Technology (CIoT) will host the 2018 Seminar on
Linguistic Typology and the Expressions of Motion Events in languages in China
