(1) Sio, Joanna Ut-Seong. 2006. Modification and reference in the Chinese nominal. Utrecht: LOT.

‘Modification and reference in the Chinese nominal’ investigates the encoding of referential properties in the Chinese nominal. This book is of relevance to anyone interested in the study of the referential properties of noun phrases, nominal modification, or in the study of different languages in China.

(2) Sybesma, Rint and Sio, Joanna Ut-Seong. 2008. D is for Demonstrative: Investigating the position of the demonstrative in Chinese and Zhuang. The Linguistic Review 25(3):453-478.

This paper attempts to derive the different orders of nominal elements in two different languages, Chinese and Zhuang, using the same base order: with the demonstrative generated low. We show that a base structure with a low generation of the demonstrative is not only supported by cross-linguistic evidence, it also derives the different orders of nominal elements in a straightforward manner.

This paper reports on the development of the Cantonese Wordnet, a new wordnet project based on Hong Kong Cantonese. It is built using the expansion approach, leveraging on the existing Chinese Open Wordnet, and the Princeton Wordnet’s semantic hierarchy. The main goal of our project was to produce a high quality, human-curated resource. The lexical data made available by this wordnet, including Jyutping romanization, will be useful for a variety of applications, including many language processing tasks and linguistic research on Cantonese and its interactions with other Chinese dialects. It contributes to providing open-source high-quality language resources for public use. Tři citace, které kandidát považuje za nejvýznamnější

This book is a research monograph containing comprehensive studies relating the issues of nominal structure. It investigates the crosslinguistic distribution of multiple determiners. The book touches upon a wide range of topics and languages including the structure of DP, the syntax of modification and the typology of noun phrases. Languages discussed include Greek, Romanian, Scandinavian, English, dialects of German, Hebrew, Albanian, Chinese, French, and Slovenian.

This book provides a new syntactic analysis on adjectives. It shows that adjectives have two sources (adverbials or predicates of reduced relative clauses), using data mainly from Romance and Germanic languages, but also include other languages that distinguish overtly two adjectival forms (e.g., Chinese).

2019-2022 PFVČ Grant: The Chinese nominal and its dialectal variants The goal of the project is to conduct a comprehensive cross-dialectal study on the syntax and semantics of the Chinese nominal. The project will produce 2 journal articles and a monograph with the title The Chinese nominal and its dialectal variants. The monograph analyses the Chinese nominal from both a descriptive and theoretical perspective. Descriptively, it provides an overview of different types of Chinese noun phrases across dialects including not just Mandarin but also Yue and Min. Theoretically, it targets issues such as count/mass distinction, referentiality and modification, all of which are highly contentious topics in Chinese linguistics. The theoretical analyses will benefit from the broad descriptive coverage, where dialectal data will be used to verify and sharpen existing analyses. The two articles will be on the encoding of reference and modification respectively.

2014-2017 MOE Tier 2 Research Grant: Grammar Matrix Reloaded: Syntax and Semantics of Affectedness

I have been involved in conceiving and writing up the grant proposal and am responsible for its daily running of this project, which aims to study the manifestations of affectedness (tracking the impact of events on undergoers) in grammars of typologically distinct languages (Papuan,

13/19

SinoTibetan, Slavic, Japanese). The main research question is the structure of affectedness, i.e. whether is it of scalar nature, and whether the various degrees are equally cognitively salient across various language families. The project aims to gather primary evidence using established methods of semantic fieldwork.

2013-2014 MOE Tier 1 Research Grant: Documentation of Zhongshan Min: Sustainability of dialectal islands in modernizing China

This project carries out a detailed documentation of Zhongshan Min, a variety of Southern Min that is spoken in Guangdong, China. Min is one of the seven dialectal groups in China (Ramsey 1987). Within China, it is spoken in Fujian as well as where its migrants went. Migration has brought the Min dialect to Guangdong, with its speakers mainly settled in the Chaoshan and Leizhou areas. What is less known is that there is a Min dialect island crouched within the Cantonese-dominant Zhongshan area, a prefecture-level city in the south of the Pearl River Delta in Guangdong province in southern China. This Min dialect, called Zhongshan Min, is spoken in one of the areas of the highest dialectal diversity in China (Norman1988:188). Zhongshan Min was the home language of my family and I have good passive knowledge of it. I have been involved in conceiving and writing up the grant proposal and am co-responsible for data collection and analysis.

2009-2010 Teaching Grant: Teaching linguistic skills through comedy: An interdisciplinary approach

Linguistic theories are notoriously abstract and students are often oblivious to the application of such theories in real communicative settings. This project bridges this gap by exploring an alternative and innovative way in learning linguistics: discovering linguistic theories through creation of comic effects in spontaneous communication. In this project, we have devised a collection of comedy games that relate to linguistic theories and concepts. The games, each with its own theoretical underpinning, were organised in the format of a course called ‘Linguistics through Theatric Comedy’. The course was offered to students in a regular semester, where students were taught to apply abstract theoretical knowledge in a spontaneous communicative environment.

2007-2010 Research Grant: A comparative study of definiteness in Chinese dialects

Unlike English, Chinese lacks articles (e.g., a, the), which are used to denote definiteness in many languages. This automatically brings up the question as to how definiteness is expressed in Chinese. This project aims to address this question on both a descriptive and a theoretical level. On a descriptive level, the project aims to conduct a comprehensive survey on the definiteness interpretations of 4 types of noun phrases, Demonstrative Classifier-Noun phrases, Numeral-Classifier-Noun phrases, Classifier-Noun phrases and bare nouns. In terms of dialectal coverage, the project will gather data from 7 dialectal groups, Mandarin, Wu, Xiang, Gan, Hakka, Yue and Min. On a theoretical level, the project attempts to identify parameters that divide

Chinese dialects into groups based on their definiteness expressing strategies, and to formulate the relationship between the parameters and the structural consequences in theoretical terms. The project excels previous studies both in terms of number of dialects and noun phrase types. The project will not only bring a deeper understanding of the dialectal variation of Chinese noun phrases, but will also contribute to the understanding of the contrast between languages with articles (e.g., Romance, Germanic) and languages without articles (e.g., Chinese, Slavic) in general.

2005-2007 Research Grant: A comparative study of modification strategies in Chinese and English

In Chinese nominal modification, a modification marker is often needed to mediate between the modifier and the modified noun (e.g. de in Mandarin, ge in Cantonese). The project focused on (i) the function and syntactic status of this marker element, and (ii) how the presence (i.e., in Chinese) or absence (i.e., in English) of the marker affects modification. The research results have been presented in both local and international conferences, and appeared in conference proceedings and book chapters.

Tři témata habilitační přednášky

1) Noun Phrase Structure in Chinese

The encoding of referential properties is attributed to the Determiner Phrase (DP) (Abney 1987). It was originally proposed to capture the similarities between the clausal and the nominal domain in various languages (English, Hungarian, Yip’ik, etc.). Many more arguments have since been produced and the presence of DP is generally accepted for languages with articles. However, many such arguments are theory-internal and the developments of syntactic theories in the last decades have weakened their force (Salzmann 2020). For article-less languages like Chinese, the presence of DP is even more controversial for a number of reasons. Some are theoretical, relating to the acceptability of certain theoretical assumptions and the strict/lax labelling of functional heads, e.g., D or something else. Some are related to approaches, e.g., nominal expressions in different article-less languages may not behave in the same way, thus theoretical conclusions from other article-less languages might not apply to Chinese. Some are related to data coverage: dialectal variations are often not taken into account, the Mandarin-centric approach often deprived us of more revealing data in less studied dialects. In this talk, I will chart the functional structure of the Chinese noun phrase using data from various Chinese dialects including Cantonese and Min. In particular, I argue that there is a functional layer related to the encoding of referential properties in Chinese, with clear specification of its unique properties. I also argue that not all noun phrases are necessarily of the same size in Chinese, by way of providing an overview of nominal expression types in Chinese.

2) Classifiers in Chinese dialects

In numeral classifier languages like Chinese, classifiers are obligatory when a noun is used with numerals (Allan 1977). Chinese classifiers, however, are also used when numerals are not present, for instance, [classifier-noun] phrases and [demonstrative-classifier-noun] phrases are also possible in Chinese, suggesting that their functions cannot simply be linking a numeral to a noun. Classifiers can be roughly divided into two kinds, sortal classifiers

and measure words. The former names the unit that is already present in the semantic denotation of the noun while the latter creates the unit (Croft 1994). In this talk, I will discuss (i) the differences between sortal classifier and measure words; (ii) different kinds of measure words, which form a heterogenous group; (iii) functions of classifiers; and (iv) dialectal differences in the use of classifiers.

3) Definiteness in Chinese dialects

Reference is the symbolic relation between a linguistic expression and an object (abstract or otherwise). Languages adopt different grammatical means (lexical, structural, word order, among others) to encode different types of referential relations. In languages like English, articles (a/an, the) provide one way of distinguishing discourse old and new referents. In article-less languages (e.g., Chinese and Slavic), there are more interpretative ambiguities of forms and word order seems to play a role. A lot of theoretical work has been done trying to capture and account for the syntactic and semantic differences of referential expressions in these two language types (with articles vs. without articles), but the issue remains controversial. In this talk, I will discuss the syntax and semantics of different kinds of definite expressions in various Chinese dialects. Part of the discussion will be based on data from a tagged parallel corpus to facilitate comparison between English and Chinese. The data are tagged using the RefLex Scheme (Riester and Baumann 2017).

Téma veřejné habilitační přednášky

Humour and communication in stand-up comedy In a stand-up comedy performance, there is a two-way exchange between the performer and the audience: the comic tells jokes; the audience responds with laughter/claps. A successful comedy performance requires both sides to ‘deliver’, but the comic has control over the whole exchange. The job of the comic not only includes his/her own delivery, but also includes manipulating the audience’s response. The placement of the punchlines in jokes dictates when the audience would laugh; the sequencing and pacing of jokes (with different strengths and lengths) monitor the excitement of the audience as well as the smooth transition of topics. The comic also often needs to improvise to tackle unforeseen situations arise during the performance. Such improvisation gives a sense of spontaneity and authenticity, which adds to the entertainment value of the performance. In this talk, I will discuss techniques used by stand-up comics, ranging from joke-writing to manipulation of the audience’s responses in a performance. These techniques can be adapted to improve general public speaking skills.
