Meeting Description:

The Fourth Forum on Cantonese Linguistics (FoCaL-4) will be jointly held by
Department of English Language and Literature of Hong Kong Baptist University
and The Linguistic Society of Hong Kong, sponsored by Faculty of Arts and
Master of Arts in Language Studies of Hong Kong Baptist University, with a
focus on Cantonese linguistics. Details as follows:

Date: 29 May 2021 (Saturday)
Time: 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Venue: Hong Kong Baptist 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.

Invited speakers (in alphabetical order of surnames):
Dr. LAU Chaak Ming (The Education University of Hong Kong)
Dr. WAKEFIELD John C. (Hong Kong Baptist University)
Dr. ZHANG Caicai (The Hong Kong Polytechnic University)

***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 We appreciate any unpublished work, especially on-going research,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 projects 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=focal4) by 20 March 2021. 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.
