The Inter-Regional Forum on Chinese Dialectal Grammar (IRF) was initiated by The Chinese University of Hong Kong and Sun Yat-sen University in 2015 and extended its partnership with Fudan University in 2017, which has become an academic event organised rotationally by these three institutions 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 interregional studies, and to strengthen intellectual exchange and dialogue among researchers from different regions.
The Ninth Inter-Regional Forum on Dialectal Grammar, organised by the Department of Chinese Language and Literature, Fudan University and co-organised by the T.T. Ng Chinese Language Research Centre (CLRC), was held on 3-4 June 2023.
Prof. Tang Sze Wing, Director of CLRC, attended the Forum and made concluding remarks, in which he highlighted the significance of various grammatical issues of tag questions in Chinese dialects at hand, stating that they warrant a thorough and thoughtful study to better understand their complexities.
