Abstract 摘要
The Childhood Bilingualism Research Centre (CBRC) 儿童双语硏究中心 was established in 2008 at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) to support the development of research in bilingualism and language acquisition. CBRC was launched with an inaugural international Conference on Bilingual Acquisition in Early Childhood in December 2008. It is the first Centre of its kind in Asia dedicated to the study of childhood bilingualism and multilingualism in diverse environments and communities, with a focus on the development of Cantonese, Mandarin and English. The Centre has been supported by the Focused Investment Scheme from CUHK and research grants from the Hong Kong Research Grants Council.
