Introduction
The Chinese Lexical Semantic Workshop (CLSW) is jointly initiated by Professor Chin-Chuan Cheng, Academician of Academia Sinica and Chair Professor of the University of Illinois, Professor Shiwen Yu of Peking University, and Professor Chu-ren Huang, Chair Professor of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
Since the first workshop in 2000, CLSW has been held in different Asian cities, including Hong Kong, Beijing, Taipei, Singapore, Xiamen, Hsin Chu, Yantai, Suzhou, Wuhan, Zhengzhou, Macao, Leshan, Jiayi, Nanjing, Fuzhou. Over the years, CLSW has become one of the most important venues for scholars to report and discuss the latest progress in Chinese Lexical Semantics and related fields, including Theoretical Linguistics, Applied Linguistics, Computational Linguistics, Computational Lexicography, Phycological Linguistics, and Sociological linguistics. CLSW has significantly impacted and promoted academic research and application development in the fields.
The 25th Chinese Lexical Semantic Workshop will be held from May 31 to June 2, 2024, at Xiamen University Tan Kah Kee College in China. This conference is jointly organized by the Cross-Strait Language Application and Narrative Culture Research Center of Xiamen University Tan Kah Kee College, the College of Humanities and Communication of Xiamen University Tan Kah Kee College, the National Language Resource Monitoring and Research Center of Education Materials of Xiamen University, and the Language and Script Application Research Institute of the Ministry of Education.
