Abstract 摘要
The 1st Doctoral Forum of Chinese Linguistics (中国语言学博士论坛), renamed to The 1st POLA Young Scholar Forum on Chinese Linguistics (中国语言学青年学者论坛) during the meeting for a clear direction and for the young generation of scholars, took place at Nankai University, during October 15-16, 2016. The forum was jointly organized by the School of Literature of Nankai University, Institute of Linguistics of Nankai University, Institute of Speech-Language Pathology and Brain Science of Beijing Language and Culture University, and Journal of Chinese Linguistics publishing office. The forum aims to continue the pioneer scholars’ efforts of Project on Linguistics Analysis (POLA). As Prof. William S-Y. Wang has pointed out during the Forum, in the 50-yea history of POLA, a basis for empirical, international and multi-disciplinary research was formed and put into action for research on languages in China. We call this the spirit of POLA and encourage young scholars to advance knowledge of languages in China by the same spirit. (see also footnote 1 on previous page and POLA Forever, edited by Dah-an Ho and Ovid J.L Tzeng) A total of 50 young scholars from Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan attended the forum. And dozens of young college teachers and doctoral candidates sat in on this forum. Both English and Chinese were working languages of the forum.
