Meeting Description:

The Third Forum on Cantonese Linguistics (FoCaL-3) will be jointly held by
HSUHK Global Humanities Initiative and the Department of English of The Hang
Seng University of Hong Kong, sponsored by Sin Wai Kin Chinese Culture
Promotion Scheme, with a focus on Cantonese linguistics. Details as follows:

Date: 30 May 2020 (Saturday)
Time: 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Venue: The Hang Seng 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.

Invited speakers (in alphabetic order of surnames):
Dr. CHEUNG Yam Leung Lawrence (The Chinese University of Hong Kong)
Dr. LAM Tsz Kwan Charles (The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong)
Dr. MOK Pik Ki Peggy (The Chinese University of Hong Kong)

Presentation format:
Concerning the presentation format, we would like to run a less typical
format, 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.

***Special arrangements regarding coronavirus***
Considering the outbreak of coronavirus, we have the following arrangements:
1. Presenters may choose to give the presentations on-site or online;
2. We will re-evaluate the situation a month before the event; if necessary,
we may postpone it or change it to an online event, so please stay tuned.


Call for Papers: 

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 We appreciate any unpublished work, especially on-going research,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=focal3) by 1 May 2020. 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: 8 May 2020
