Meeting Description:

We are a group of graduate students who are interested in Cantonese
linguistics. We have been running as an informal reading group since
2017 summer. Benefited much from our fruitful discussion, we would
like to take a step further to organise a student forum on Cantonese
linguistics.

Call for Papers:

The Forum
The Seventh Forum on Cantonese Linguistics (FoCaL-7) will be jointly
held by Department of Chinese Language and Literature of Hong Kong
Shue Yan University and The Linguistic Society of Hong Kong. Details
as follows:

Date: 22 June 2024 (Saturday)
Time: 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Venue: Hong Kong Shue Yan University

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 We appreciate any unpublished work, especially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)
Dr. Albert Kwing Lok Lee  (The Education University of Hong Kong)
Dr. Tommy Tsz-Ming Lee  (City University of Hong Kong)
Dr. Margaret Lei (The Chinese 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.

Abstract submission
Please submit your abstract to us via EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=focal7) by 20 April 2024. 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
25 May 2024
