Meeting Description: 

The Fifth Forum on Cantonese Linguistics (FoCaL-5) will be jointly held by
Department of Linguistics and Translation of City University of Hong Kong and
The Linguistic Society of Hong Kong, with a focus on Cantonese linguistics.
Details as follows: 

Aim:
We hope to establish a friendly platform for students to present their latest
work and receive various peers’ comments. In light of limited intellectual
exchange among students across different institutes, we also hope the forum
can stimulate inter-institute collaboration. 

Invited speakers (in alphabetic order of surnames):
Dr. Lai Yik-Po (The Education University of Hong Kong)
Dr. Lee Wai Sum Vanti (City University of Hong Kong)
Dr. Matthews Stephen (The University of Hong Kong)

Presentation format:
Concerning the presentation format, we would like to adopt a format of round
table discussion, with a view to stay close to our proposed goals for this
forum. Each presentation would be 5+25 minutes long. In the first five minutes
we encourage our presenters to deliver the main idea (like an elevator pitch),
followed by a 25-minute presentation with details and explanation,
interspersed with questions and comments from the audience. For presentation
language, we welcome presentations in Cantonese, in addition to English and
Mandarin.

We welcome presentations on any topic related to Cantonese linguistics
(phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, acquisition,
psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics), from postgraduate and undergraduate
students. We appreciate any unpublished work, especially on-going research,
preliminary research projects and term papers -- ideas and thoughts that are
in need of peers’ comments and discussion. 

Abstract submission:
Please submit your abstract to us via EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=focal5) by 26 March 2022. The
abstract must be within one A4-page with 12 font size and 1 inch margin,
including references and examples. Do not include your name or affiliation in
the abstract. It can be written in Cantonese, English or Standard Chinese.

Notification date of acceptance: 30 April 2022
