DESCRIPTION:Chinese sentence final particles have long been discussed in l
 inguistic research. However\, how they are represented in L2 learners' int
 erlanguage(s) deserves more attention. In this seminar\, I will report my 
 ongoing PhD project which concerns this particular phenomenon through the 
 lens of English-speaking learners' acquisition situations. To be specific\
 , general properties of Chinese sentence final particles will be presented
 \, together with features of six individual ones. Some crosslinguistic com
 parisons between Chinese and English will also be introduced. The research
  design and some preliminary results from 11 Chinese native speakers will 
 be reported as well. The seminar will conclude with identified problems in
  the research design and discussion of future investigation directions.
LOCATION:L1 (basement) at the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies
