Abstract
The 35th Annual Meeting of the Southeast Asian Linguistics Society (SEALS 35) will be held at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, from June 3 to 5, 2026, bringing together scholars specializing in Southeast Asian linguistics. To take advantage of this gathering, we have organized this one-day workshop to be held on June 2, 2026, at the National University of Singapore.
Previous studies have shown that Southern Chinese dialects (Wu, Gan, Xiang, Min, Hakka, Yue, etc.) share numerous phonological, lexical, and syntactic features with non-Chinese languages spoken in Southern China and Southeast Asia. Conversely, many Southeast Asian languages also contain substantial linguistic elements historically derived from Chinese.
This workshop aims to foster dialogue and methodological exchange between researchers of Chinese dialects and those focusing on Southeast Asian languages. By bridging these two often-separate academic communities, we hope to pave the way for future comparative and collaborative research in this vibrant field.
