The Inter-Regional Forum on Dialectal Grammar (IRF) was initiated by The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU) in 2015 and extended its partnership with Fudan University in 2017. Organized rotationally by these three institutions, IRF serves as a platform intended to foster research on dialectal grammar under a comparative approach, focusing on southeastern Chinese dialects like Yue and Wu dialects, to promote inter-regional studies, and to strengthen intellectual exchange and dialogue among researchers from different regions.

The eleventh IRF, organized by the Department of Chinese Language and Literature at SYSU and co-organized by the T.T. Ng Chinese Language Research Centre of the Institute of Chinese Studies at CUHK, will be held on 21–22 June 2025 at SYSU. For the details of the Forum, please visit:
