Meeting Description:

The Second Forum on Cantonese Linguistics (FoCaL-2) will be held by the
Department of Linguistics and Modern Language Studies of  the Education
University of Hong Kong, with a focus on Cantonese linguistics. Details as
follows:
 
Date: 1 June 2019 (Saturday)
Time: 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Venue: The Education University of Hong Kong
 
Aim:

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


Call for Papers:

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 We appreciate any unpublished work, especially on-going research,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 project 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=focal2 ) by 23 March 2019. 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.

Presentation Format:

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.

Notification date of acceptance
