Project Title:Complex predicates and serial verbs across languages: issues of syntax, semantics, and information structure
Investigator(s):Bodomo AB
Department:Linguistics
Source(s) of Funding:Seed Funding Programme for Basic Research
Start Date:10/2002
Abstract:
To account for the morphological and syntactic properties of various types of complex predicates. A major underlying research issue here is to provide an explanation for how two or more spearate predicates can integrate to form a complex predicate, even under various syntactic alternations; to develop a set of descriptive constraints and a mechanism to show how they interact to fully account for the grammaticality of some types of serial verbs in Dagaare, Twi, Cantonese and other languages, and causative complex predicates in French and Norwegian; to look beyond syntactic and other formal issues in the complex predicate construction and consider how grammatical structure interacts with pragmatics and information structure; to produce several outputs that are significant in the field of syntax and its interfaces with other components of the grammar, with particular reference to pragmatic-information level phenomena.

Project Title:The Zhuang Language: Linguistic Field Methods Training and Proficiency Courses
Investigator(s):Bodomo AB
Department:School of Humanities
Source(s) of Funding:Run Run Shaw Research and Teaching Endowment Fund - Teaching Grants
Start Date:02/2005
Abstract:
To train about 50 students in basic Zhuang proficiency. To produce a book-length manuscript on Zhuang proficiency based onthe CLC framework. To produce a collection of articles on Zhuang by interested students and staff members of the department and beyond. To prepare (to fund partially) a book-length work on the description of the Zhuang language within the Lexical-Functional Grammar framework, which the PI has already begun.


Project Title:An investigation into the grammatical structure of the Zhuang language
Investigator(s):Bodomo AB
Department:Linguistics
Source(s) of Funding:Louis Cha Fund
Start Date:03/2005
Completion Date:02/2006
Abstract:
The aim of this project is to survey specific aspects of the structure and organization of the Zhuang language, the largest "minority" language in the People's Republic of China (PRC) with about 20 million speakers. It is a Tai-Kadai language spoken mainly in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of the PRC. The PI aims to come up with a comprehensive grammar of the Zhuang language, but this present project will focus on the kinship terms in the language. A study of kinship terms in a language is essential not only to the study of the language itself, but also to the understanding of the organization of the Zhuang people, their families and their society. Eventually, other aspects of the language, including the structure of the nominal and verbal phrases, will also be investigated. The role of grammatical fieldwork analysis becomes significant here, as it is only through systematic and well-planned field methods that one will be able to elicit natural Zhuang data from native speakers of the language as they go about their everyday activities.

Project Title:Doctor-Patient Interaction in Hong Kong: Linguistic and Conversational Perspectives
Investigator(s):Luke KK, Flynn C, Zhang W, Lam TP
Department:Linguistics
Source(s) of Funding:Small Project Funding
Start Date:12/2005
Abstract:
The purpose of the proposed research is to achieve a better understanding of factors that may enhance or otherwise reduce the effectiveness of communication between doctors and patients during medical consultations in Hong Kong. Doctor-patient interaction is a hot topic of research in the US, the UK and Europe in recent years, but has not received very much attention locally. As a pilot study, the proposed project will focus on one particular primary care clinic in Hong Kong, namely the Apleichau clinic, where one of the co-investigators works. The data collected from this clinic will be closely analysed using proven techniques commonly employed in Linguistics and Conversation Analysis. The outcome of the research should contribute towards the enhancement of doctor-patient interaction in Hong Kong.

Project Title:Towards a Grammar of Chinese Pidgin English
Investigator(s):Matthews SJ, Smith GPS, Ansaldo
Department:Linguistics
Source(s) of Funding:Small Project Funding
Start Date:09/2005
Abstract:
The project seeks to develop a gramatical sketch of the grammatical structure of Chinese Pidgin English (CPE). In particular the work will evaluate the role of Cantonese as substrate language. Grammatical issues to be addressed include: 1. Use of personal pronouns (my wanchee vs. me wanchee vs. I wanchee) 2. Presence vs absence of wh-movement (you pay me what offer vs. you pay me what offer) 3. Placement of prepositional phrases and time adverbials (we tomorrow makee move) 4. Null subjects and objects (must likey or no likey) 5. Use of have/hab as an auxiliary (have bring rice this voyage?) The work also aims to provide analyses of the grammatical functions of key words such as 'long' as a comitative preposition (do littee pidgeon long you) and 'make' as a 'dummy' or light verb (I makee mendee). These usages do not suggest Cantonese influence, but have typological and possibly historical parallels in other contact languages of the Pacific region such as Tok Pisin which have been extensively studied by the co-investigators. These parallels will be addressed with particular attention to the respective roles of historical contacts between contact languages and typological factors. The findings will be published in a book on the history and structure of Chinese Pidgin English to be co-edited by the investigators.

Abstract:
To use age-of-acquisition effects (AoA effects) to investigate how cognitive and neural systems for Chinese language processing are developed. Two important theories that will be tested are the phonological completeness hypothesis and the arbitrary mapping hypothesis. Specially: By examing reading the picture naming in Chinese and comparing the results from Chinese reading with those reported previously from English reading, we will be able to discover how quality representations of lexical items are shaped with learning and practice. The effect of AoA will be further examined by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). In particular, identifying the areas that are activated and comparing them with previous research on semantic processing should allow us to evaluate the contribution of AoA to cortical localization of language processing.

Investigator(s):Tan LH
Department:Linguistics
Source(s) of Funding:Matching Fund for National Key Basic Research Development Scheme (973 Projects)
Start Date:09/2005
Abstract:
This proposed research is based on theories of visual perception and uses functional magnetic resonance imaging and advanced imaging analysis techniques to investigate the neurobiological origin of Chinese dyslexia (impaired Chinese reading). The project aims to define the nature of dyslexic reading in Chinese children and to lay scientific foundation for early diagnosis and treatment of Chinese dyslexia. The research will also generate important pathological data to test the prominent topological theory of visual perception that assumes that the perception of wholes of an object precedes the perception of tis constituents.
