International Conference on Bilingualism and Comparative Linguistics
The conference aims to draw together researchers in the fields of bilingualism and comparative linguistics, providing an interdisciplinary forum to facilitate presentation and exchange of recent findings. We aim to encourage dialogue and synergy between researchers who investigate bilingualism and second language acquisition from the perspective of psycholinguistics and cognitive neuroscience and those who undertake comparative studies of linguistic properties across languages, stimulating research with an interdisciplinary perspective. The conference will be of interest to a wide spectrum of professionals in linguistics, psychology, cognitive neuroscience, engineering, speech and language pathology, and language education.

A Dialogue on Sound Change: Past, Present and Future
The 19th century Neogrammarians held that sound change is phonetically conditioned, gradual, regular, and a ects
all words of the lexicon at the same time. The last century saw breakthrough developments in the study of how sound
change spreads through the lexicon, and how it takes place through variation in real time. This forum brings together
two pioneering scholars whose seminal ideas have advanced the theory of sound change, in a dialogue with a panel
of Chinese historical linguists and sociolinguists.
Speakers:
Prof. William Labov
(University of Pennsylvania, USA)
Prof. William S-Y. Wang
(The Chinese University of Hong Kong)
Date: 16 May 2012 (Wednesday)
