This workshop brings together scholars working on various aspects of the Vietnamese language. Our experts will give talks on prosody, serial verbs, linguistic structure, language acquisition, and the practical considerations of fieldwork in Vietnam. Via structured brainstorming sessions at the end of each day, participants will be able to develop research ideas under the guidance of our invited experts and discuss future collaborative work directly with our guests from the University of Languages and International Studies (Vietnam National University, Hanoi).
Attendance is open to UZH and NCCR-affiliated researchers and students. Students interested in pursuing projects on the Vietnamese language will be awarded 1 ECTS for attending the talks and participating in the brainstorming sessions. For more information on obtaining 1 ECTS, see the Registration form.
