Title: A Pioneer Documentation of Malaysian Colloquial Mandarin -- A Framework for Malaysian Colloquial Mandarin Corpus Application Development Field: Linguistics (Language Documentation)
Funded by: Southern University College Research Fund Project Period : 1st September 2017 – 31st August 2018
Abstract: The development of a synchronous Malaysian colloquial Mandarin corpus is a pioneer work in academia. There is no single comprehensive and synchronized corpus of Malaysian colloquial Mandarin until this proposed corpus comes into existence. Significantly, the proposed corpus will be an asset to scholars around the world. The resulting database and computerized concordance from the corpus enable linguists and social scientists to undertake meaningful qualitative and quantitative comparative analysis of the development of linguistic and cultural variation.

Abstract : The thesis re-examines the emergence of Singapore Mandarin, along with which is a revision of the description of the features of Singapore Mandarin. With the hypothesis that Singapore Mandarin is a koine, the thesis figures out how Singapore Mandarin emerged, on the basis of its phonological, morphological and syntactic structure.

Master Thesis
Title : A Study of the GIVE Verbs and SAY Verbs in Archaic Chinese
Field : Linguistics (Chinese Linguistics)
Supervisor : Carine Yiu Yuk Man 姚玉敏
Examiners : Min Zhang 张敏

Abstract : The thesis examines the use of the GIVE verbs yǔ與 and xiàn 獻 and the SAY verbs yù 語, yán 言, wèn 問 and gào 告 in Archaic Chinese, focusing particularly on the issue of why yú於 was used with the recipient in some cases but not in the others. The verbs are studied across different texts composed between the 10th B.C. and 2nd B.C. There is a strict distinction in marking observed in the postverbal nominals. The recipient of xiàn 獻, yán 言, wèn 問 and gào 告 was marked with yú 於 while the theme was unmarked. However, such a strict distinction disappeared later in the language, resulting in the change from “Verb+(Theme)+ 於 +Recipient” to “Verb+(Theme)+Recipient”. This study tries to capture the above change from the perspectives of ditranistive alignment and valence change, both of which are motivated by a change from one type to another type of verbs.
