Chinese Lexical Semantics Workshop (CLSW) is one of the most important international conferences on Chinese Lexical Semantics and related fields, starting from the turn of the century in year 2000, under the auspices of the Academic Advisory Committee of CLSW conference. This workshop series is dedicated to various approaches to lexical semantic research with the goal to integrate linguistics, corpus linguistics, cognitive linguistics, psycholinguistics, and computational linguistics. It has been held in different Asia Pacific cities, including Hong Kong, Beijing, Taipei, Singapore, Xiamen, Hsin Chu, Yantai, Suzhou, Wuhan, Zhengzhou, Leshan, Macao and Chiayi, etc. CLSW has become one of the most influential and internationally known platforms for cross-disciplinary research exchange, dialogue, and collaboration. Over the past 20 years, it has been attended by an average of 250 participants with a diverse range of scholars from China, Singapore, US, UK and EU.
The 21st Chinese Lexical Semantics Workshop (CLSW2020) will be held on May 28-31, 2020, in City University of Hong Kong, organized by Department of Linguistics and Translation at City University of Hong Kong, and co-organized by Department of Linguistics and Modern Language at Chinese University of Hong Kong, The Linguistic Society of Hong Kong and Hong Kong Academy of the Humanities. Scholars all over the world are cordially invited to submit papers to CLSW2020 at CityU of HK!
