Event Report: The 10th Inter-Regional Forum on Dialectal Grammar
The 10th Inter-Regional Forum on Dialectal Grammar was held on 27–28 June 2024 at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). Organized by the T.T. Ng Chinese Language Research Centre (CLRC) of the Institute of Chinese Studies at CUHK, the Forum featured a keynote speech by Prof. Yen-hui Audrey Li (CUHK/University of Southern California). Over 30 presenters were selected through a call for papers to share their findings at the Forum. They are from 15 institutions, including (in alphabetical order) Beijing Language and Culture University, Beijing Normal University, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, CUHK, Fudan University, Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, Hainan Normal University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Jinan University, Peking University, Renmin University of China, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Sun Yat-sen University, Xiamen University, and Zhejiang University.
 
The discussions were conducted under the theme of “the sentence-final de in Chinese dialects” and covered Min, Yue, Wu, Kejia, Gan, and Northern dialects. According to Prof. Tang Sze Wing, Director of CLRC, it is impossible to address all issues concerning the sentence-final particle de in two days. He hoped that this Forum could serve as a starting point to help scholars deepen their understanding of this phenomenon and uncover more new research questions.

The 11th Inter-Regional Forum on Dialectal Grammar will be held in 2025 at Sun Yat-sen University with the tentative theme of “the sentence-final clusters of functional words in Chinese dialects”. Interested parties are advised to stay tuned for updates.
