have been many heated discussions on Cantonese, such as its history,
development, status and linguistic structure.

 In this 5-day event, we bring together renowned scholars from around the
world who specialize in various domains pertaining to Cantonese Studies. We
aim to offer a platform for these scholars to share with the participants
their recent research work and experience on Cantonese studies.
