The conference aims at creating a cooperative, friendly and enlightening forum for anyone who are working on Chinese syntax and semantics. Young scholars and other colleagues who are working on the following topics are particularly welcome:

(1) The syntax and semantics of Chinese dialects
(2) The syntax and semantics of minority languages in China
(3) First language acquisition (lexical, syntactic and semantic) in bilingual contexts

Prof. Yafei Li (Professor of Linguistics at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, adjunct professor of Nanjing University)

Each talk will be 30 minutes, plus a 10-minitute discussion. Submissions are limited to one individual and one joint abstract per author. 

Abstracts should be sent to the conference email box: ssic2012 at 163.com. Other methods of submission are not encouraged.

Abstracts can be written in either English or Chinese. English abstracts and presentations are preferred.

All selected speakers will be provided free meals during the conference period.

simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to
