Meeting Description:

The Forum
The Sixth Forum on Cantonese Linguistics (FoCaL-6) will be jointly held by
Division of Humanities, School of Humanities and Social Science, The Hong Kong
University of Science and Technology and The Linguistic Society of Hong Kong,
with a focus on Cantonese linguistics. Details as follows: 

Date: 10 June 2023 (Saturday)
Time: 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Venue: The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology

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. 

Topic
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 We appreciate any unpublished work, especially on-going research,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. 

Invited speakers (in alphabetic order of surnames)
- Prof. Stephen MATTHEWS (The University of Hong Kong)
- Dr. Zhen QIN (The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology)
- Dr. Yike YANG (Hong Kong Shue Yan University)

Forum format
The forum will take place in a hybrid (onsite + online) mode. We encourage
Hong Kong participants to come in person to discuss, and overseas participants
who cannot attend onsite may also present and join the discussion online.

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.


Call for Papers:

Abstract submission
Please submit your abstract to us via EasyChair

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.
