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. |

African-Asian communities belong to some
of the least researched among African communities in the Diaspora. Even
though there is a growing amount of interest on the historical, cultural, and
linguistic linkages between Africa and Asia (Rashidi and van Sertima 1995,
Hotz 1998, Cooper 1999, Griffith 2001, Bodomo 2001), the situation cannot be
compared to the vast amount of literature that exists on African-American,
African-Caribbean and African-European communities. This project seeks to
fill this vacuum by focusing on two emerging African communities in China:
one is the Chungking Mansions in Hong Kong, and the other is Tianxiu Building
（天秀大廈） in Guangzhou. This case study aims to compare
the linguistic and cultural aspects of these two emerging communities in Hong

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 |

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
place (an offer for such an exhibition has already been received from HKU's |

completion of a scholarly monograph entitled Jean-Jacques Rousseau and
Botany: Science in the Service of Society. This monograph examines the
botanical project of the eighteenth-century Swiss philosopher Jean-Jacques
Rousseau (1712-1778); this is the least well-known and least studied aspect
of his extensive oeuvre. The only previous book-length study—now outdated—is
Albert Jansen, _Jean-Jacques Rousseau als Botaniker_ (Berlin: Reimer, 1885).
The PI’s project is based on her critical edition of Rousseau’s botanical

Abstract: |
|
The objective of this project is two-fold. First, using Indochina as a case study, it proposes to reconstruct the history of the colonial experiences of French women, which have thus far received little scholarly attention. Secondly, unlike most of the existing works on British colonial women, which limit their investigations on the gender factor only, my study will attend to both the gender and class dimensions of French women's colonial experiences. For one of my hypotheses is that the diverse class origins of colonial women in Indochina posed a real challenge to the French colonial order, which attributed to women the role of civilizing agents to the " inferior" races. The Period under research covers the years from 1900 to 1940, the decades that witnessed a steady growth to French female population in Indochina. The first part examines the official narratives of French women's roles in the empire. The key issues to be studied are (1) What were the social and political circumstances under which colonial female emigration took place? (2) What was the official policy? If so, what were they? In what ways were the changes informed by new thinking among colonialists? (3) What roles were assigned to women in the empire? How did these assigned female roles define the class background of women deemed as acceptable candidates for emigration? (4) How did women's assigned roles relate to a feminized version of the civilizing mission? The second part of the project investigates the actual experiences of French women in Indochina. The main questions that will be asked are (5) What types of women did in fact go to the colony? Were they mostly wives of colonial civil servants and settlers? Were there single women (unmarried, widows or divorcees) staying in the colony? (6) For those who were homemakers, what kind of domesticity did they recreate in Indochina? What was the political role of domesticity in the ideology of the empire, in particular in relation to the civilizing mission? (7) For those who were single, how did they make a living in Indochina? What types of professions did protect "white prestige" in the colony? (8) What were the class configurations of French women in Indochina? Did they correspond to those defined in the official discourse? What implications would class differentials among colonial women have on the imperial rhetoric of civilizing mission and the fashioning of Frenchness in the colony? |

Abstract: |
|
I will conduct research and publish an article that investigates the use of agrarian imagery in Wang Zhen's Book of Agriculture. The book was a major literary achievement that consolidated and expanded scholarship on agricultural technology. When it was published in 1313, it was the most encyclopedically authoritative text on agrarian technology in China and probably the world. The Book of Agriculture contained text and imagery. Wang Zhen published woodblock prints that illustrated both the equipment used in agriculture and the farmers at work. While drawing upon centuries of agronomic scholarship, Wang Zhen was innovative in his use of printed imagery to display agrarian labor. The inclusion of illustrations of people working was a new subject for agricultural publications. Modern scholars working in the mid- to late-twentieth century have suggested that Wang Zhen's illustrations most likely were based on earlier depictions of agrarian labor. In the twelfth century Emperor Gaozong was presented with two handscrolls referred to as the Pictures of Tilling and Weaving. Scholars have suggested these scrolls were likely visual precedents that inspired Wang Zhen. The Pictures of Tilling and Weaving were designed by the self-styled scholar-official Lou Shu as a set of two handscrolls. One handscroll presented the labor of men tilling the soil and cultivating grain in twenty-one procedures. The other depicted the work of the farmers' wives who raised silkworms and wove silk fabric in twenty-four steps. Each procedure was accompanied by a poem written by Lou Shu. According to the Song dynasty documents, Emperor Gaozong greatly praised this gift. The emperor may have been motivated to endorse the scrolls, because their subject matter engaged with the roles of agriculture and the taxes it provided for governance, aspects central to Southern Song political discourse. With recent publications of newly discovered Song and Yuan dynasty paintings, my article will demonstrate that many of the prints found in the various editions of Wang Zhen's Book of Agriculture adhere closely to the compositions of early Song examples of the Pictures of Tilling and Weaving. The prints and paintings share nearly identical positions and poses of the laboring farmers. In addition the prints incorporate the same kinds of incidental background objects, such as teapots, or farm animals, in the same scenes with similar compositional arrangements as in the paintings. The prints are based on the Pictures of Tilling and Weaving. In this project, I intend to explore the appeal of the Pictures of Tilling and Weaving had for Wang Zhen and his audience. Why did Wang Zhen employ the imagery from the Pictures of Tilling and Weaving? Traditionally representations of farmers at work were suitable subject matter for ambitious works of art produced in the form of silk paintings. What were Wang Zhen's motivations for incorporating iconography from elite art production and translating it into print medium? Wang Zhen maintained a connection with the earlier imagery of the Pictures of Tilling and Weaving while he introduced the most up-to-date information on agricultural practices. Close reading of passages in the Book of Agriculture suggest that for Wang Zhen his interest in the Pictures of Tilling and Weaving was not based solely on the formal qualities of the imagery. He sought to retain the Southern Song vision of the role of labor that was articulated in the scrolls and in their poems. As my article will argue, Wang Zhen desired to promote the benefits of a proper understanding of agrarian labor and its equipment as knowledge legitimated by the canonical literary traditions of China. In recreating the Pictures of Tilling and Weaving and distributing them in woodblock form for large-scale distribution, Wang Zhen established Southern Song depictions of labor as iconic. Given Wang Zhen's efforts, most, if not all, later imagery of agrarian labor incorporates visual references to the Southern Song prototype. Wang Zhen produced the Book of Agriculture during the Yuan dynasty when the Mongols ruled China. This article will conclude by considering the role of the re-affirmation of Southern Song material in this historical context. Wang Zhen represented the farmers and their wives at labor to illustrate procedures to teach the reading public about agricultural tools and techniques. It is possible to speculate that the visual presentation of this material also delivered other kinds of information. The prints with their style and composition invoked the Southern Song and its political discussions of the roles of agriculture and taxation in society. Passages within the Book of Agriculture itself support such a claim. The prints serve as a means to register Wang Zhen's allegiance to the Southern Song dynasty. |

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: |
|
My research proposal on Guangdong art in the early 19th century makes an original contribution to our understanding of Chinese art history at a place and time when the country was being catapulted into its modern era. It will provide a comprehensive case study looking at a broad range of artists, visual artifacts and practices, and how these intersect with local and national interests. This in-depth investigation offers a new approach to regional art underpinned by a study of the emergence of a modern art culture. Guangdong serves as a favored case study because it was one of the earliest and most important juncture of local, regional, national and global interests. Historically, it was seen as a marginal area made up of a population with its own regional dialect, rituals, and social practices. However, between the late 18th and the mid-19th centuries, intense economic activities, in particular the China export trade, and violent upheavals, namely the Opium War (1839-42) and subsequent Taiping Rebellion (1850-1864), had a large impact in the making of Guangzhou art that had resonance and consequences beyond its borders. I propose two inter-related areas of studies that examines the interaction of local and non-local cultural and artistic practices: The Art of Diplomacy: The Gifting of Portraits, and The Local Art Worlds of 19th Century Guangdong. I aim to publish at least one paper for a peer-reviewed journal, and the research of both as part of a larger project that explores how the significance and purpose of modernist change was contingent and produced in accord with local society and history. The first area will examine the gifting of portraits as part of the forging of diplomatic relations in mid-19th century during the signing of the First Opium War treaty. In particular it will examine how Qi Ying, the Chinese plenipotenary, used portraiture for cultivating what he describes as a “yi-ti-me-de” (intimate) relationship as part of his “diplomacy by appeasement” policy. However, there were large discrepancies between the ways in which Qi Ying presented the gifts to his Western counterparts and how he reported his use of portraits as gifts in memorials to the emperor. The gifting of portraits was not part of the customary diplomatic exchange in China—a portrait of King George IV in royal robes was offered to the Emperor in 1816 by Lord Amherst and rejected, and while there are records of portraits given from other Western countries, there are few records of the equivalent being returned. Historical documents would suggests that the use of portraits as gifts was a new social practice, and as such can provide the basis for a fruitful discussion on diplomatic gifting of portraits as a site of intercultural encounter. The second area will continue and expand the investigation by examining the portrait as an art object and how its production was part of a larger web of interactions between China trade artisans, photographers and portraitists from the West, merchants, and local literati scholars. For participants of Guangzhou’s art communities, the torrent of activities spurred competition entrenched in self-definition—the literati saw themselves as vanguards of elite taste, professional urban artists (including women) used different strategies to attenuate their commercial status, and for several individuals, art-making was a means of investigating greater moral and social responsibilities. A broad overview of these relationships between different social groups of artists will provide the basis of how "Guangdong” was being defined. This second part is primarily data collection and preliminary analysis that is fundamental to a larger long-term project of a book on Guangdong art. |

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. |

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. |

To examine how nuns are respresented in mainstream, and mainly English language, film since the Second World War and what cultural myths of gender and religion shape their cinematic projection; to study the underlying institutional and sexual politics of their filmic representation, and consider how the images and stereotypes projected on screen compare to the diverse and often substantial roles that nuns actually played in the development of modern society, and the changes, in turn, that modern secular society produced in nuns' lives and religious community. |

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. |

comprehension is to compose the meanings of sentences from words being read

have established evidence in both spoken and written languages that indicates
a nature of "incrementality" in sentence reading: The
readers/listeners process each word immediately and link each word in meaning

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. |
