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. |

Neural mechanisms for different linguistic categories by Chinese-English bilinguals |

Abstract: |
One important question in the field of bilingualism is how bilinguals process two languages in one brain. There are two hypotheses on this issue so far. The first one is the common system hypothesis which suggested the two languages are represented in an overlapping neural network, regardless of the age of acquisition of the second language, language distance, and proficiency level. This hypothesis has been supported by a lot of neuroimaging studies in the literature (Klein et al., 1995; Perani et al., 1998; Chee et al., 1999; Illes et al., 1999; Hernandez et al., 2001; Hasegawa et al., 2002; Mahendra et al., 2003). Alternatively, it is hypothesized that there are two separate systems representing different languages in bilinguals. Far less research (Kim et al., 1997) supports this theory. This project aims to examine the two hypotheses by using different linguistic categories and semantics at different levels as experimental stimuli and Chinese-English bilinguals as participants. The first experiment builds on our previous functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies of Chinese that indicate that native Chinese speakers employ overlapping brain regions in processing Chinese nouns and verbs (Li et al., 2004) while native English speakers represent verbs and nouns in significantly different brain regions. We extend our previous studies with native Chinese monolinguals to Chinese-English bilinguals in this project, to discover the neural mechanisms underlying the processing of nouns and verbs in the bilingual's brain. The Chinese and English languages were employed because the two writing systems present sharp contrasts in design principles; in particular, grammatical categories such as nouns and verbs are represented dramatically differently (Li et al., 2004). Chinese does not use morphological devices to denote word categories while in alphabetic languages such as English, however, nouns and verbs are clearly distinct in most cases, carrying differential syntactic and semantic valences. In this context, one important question to be answered is that of whether nouns and verbs of Chinese and English are processed separately in early Chinese-English bilinguals. Based on the common neural system theory of early bilingualism (Chee et al., 1999; Kim et al., 1997; Klein et al., 1995; Mahendra et al., 2003; Wartenburger et al., 2003) which is supported by a good number of studies, one may predict that the pattern of brain activity induced by nouns and verbs in the two languages is identical for early bilinguals.While the first experiment aims to examine the neural processing of different linguistic classes, the second experiment aims to further investigate the cortical representations of semantic information at different levels, namely word level and sentence level, in bilinguals. It builds on our previous studies that showed a significant different neural network subserves semantic processing in Chinese as compared to previous research with English speakers (Tan et al., 2001). Words and sentences were chosen because the later is more frequently used in daily life whereas results from the former can be served as a replication to previous studies with monolinguals. |

The primary purpose of this project is to
create visual artworks of a photographic nature, and to create a second-order
artwork from those photographs which will take the form of a book. Artists'
books are now an established medium of output for visual artists, especially
photographers, and the aesthetic work of assembling a photographic sequence
of book length is analogous in nature to the task of editing a movie. While
many of the photos I am producing for this project can stand alone as
independent artworks, others will find their meaning only within the book as
a whole (rather as an individual shot within a movie may lack meaning until
incorporated into the movie montage as a whole). The book will have a meaning
which is more than the sum of its individual constituent parts, and will thus
be more than a matter of publishing of existing artworks. A secondary purpose
is to make a contribution to |

Abstract: |
Since 1995 I have been extensively
involved in the creation of photographic artworks. Whereas for the first
decade or so of this time I focused almost exclusively on working in black
and white (with my work of that phase being featured in a sole author book of
2002 and a one-person exhibition of the same year), since 2004 I have also
started working in colour and this has lead to a distinct new phase of my
artistic production. The purpose of this proposal is to enable the exhibition
of artworks from this new phase to take place in a more extensive way than
has so far been possible, and (more broadly) to enable me to take a quantum
leap forward with this side of my intellectual and artistic output. This
grant application is particularly output-orientated, in that its primary
purpose is to enable a large-scale one-person museum show of my work to take

Abstract: |
(A better formatted version of Section V is attached separately to this proposal.) Some of the traditional central questions of epistemology are: 1. What is knowledge? 2. How is knowledge possible? 3. What makes a belief justified or reasonable? It is commonly thought that these questions are purely theoretical; it is commonly thought that the practical concerns of our daily lives have and should have no bearing on these questions. One broad goal of my research is to explain why the common thought is mistaken. A second broad goal is to show how examining what we do with our knowledge and our beliefs sheds light on the traditional questions of epistemology. Specifically and briefly, I propose the following: First, I will examine the problem of epistemological skepticism. My specific goal is to understand whether and to what extent skeptical arguments that knowledge is impossible should be taken seriously. Traditionally, skeptical arguments that knowledge is impossible are seen to divide neatly into categories. Sometimes skeptical arguments are classified by the sort of knowledge under threat--- be it knowledge of the external world, of other minds, of the future, and so on. And sometimes skeptical arguments are categorized by the strategy of argumentation: Cartesian, Humean, or Pyrrhonian. While there are historical reasons for such classifications, I propose to carve the territory anew. Beginning from the truism that some knowledge is more valuable to us than other knowledge, I plan to distinguish different forms of skepticism based on the importance to us of the knowledge that a skeptical argument would threaten. The result should help us understand how seriously skepticism about knowledge should be taken. Second, I will study the viability of foundationalist epistemology. According to foundationalism some of our beliefs have the special status of being basic. Lying at the foundation of our knowledge, basic beliefs are supposed to support our other beliefs, but basic beliefs are not themselves supported by any beliefs. A key foundationalist claim is that basic beliefs are justified or reasonable. My specific goal is to show that there are no reasonable basic beliefs.My starting point is the thought that in everyday life you need some confidence that you can rely on your beliefs; you need to be able to find some minimal reassurance that a belief is true. The need for such confidence in your beliefs arguably constrains which beliefs are reasonable. Arguing for and applying this constraint may show that there are no reasonable basic beliefs because no belief can both be reasonable and be at the foundation of our knowledge. |

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: |
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. |

Abstract: |
The project surveys the theories and histories of narrative film and film narrative. After examining storytelling amid cinematic images in several major narrative cinemas in film history, it looks into the major concepts of film narrative formulated by narratologists, film theorists and philosophers. Focusing on S. Eisenstein, C. Metz and G. Deleuze, the book pinpoints their respective attempts in encountering cinematography and narratology. Eisenstein promotes dialectical (thesis-antithesis-synthesis) clashes of images that generate and orientate meaning across real historical situations and cinematic narratives; Metz challenges the formalist-structuralist foregrounding of syntax in his perception of cinema as a language, which is open and changing, not a language system, which is embodied by a closed set of syntax; Deleuze proposes that time’s subordination to movement in classical cinemas is reversed in the post-war modern time-image, in which montage tends to disappear in favour of the sequence shot. Last but not least, the book canvasses intercultural and postcolonial issues concerning film narrative in response to such a theoretical and historical agenda. |
