Chinese Linguistics Research Group
Introduction
Chinese language and linguistics is one of the two majors at the Department of Chinese Studies, National University of Singapore (NUS). In order to broaden our staff’s research interests and train our MA and Ph.D students, we have established the “NUS Chinese Linguistics Research Group” in order to further intellectual exchange and share resources. The topics we intend to address in the “Chinese Linguistics Research Group” include (but are not limited to): cognitive linguistics, grammaticalization, lexical semantics, pragmatics, morphology, phonology, typology, and corpus linguistics. By increasing research collaborations and providing a forum for scholarly exchange, we hope to facilitate the development of innovative ideas, improve the quality of our research, and raise our department’s reputation in international academic circles.
We hold a linguistics colloquium regularly. Our activities cover:
- talks on the current research of our staff and graduate students
- talks given or to be given at academic conferences
- talks which review the most recent linguistic literature
- talks by invited speakers from other domestic or foreign universities
Research Areas
- Every aspect of the Chinese language and linguistics in general.
