The primary goals of the Li Fang-Kuei Society (henceforth LFK Society) are to honor and preserve Professor Li Fang-Kuei’s memory as a scholar and a man: to foster continuing research through the establishment of the journal Bulletin of Chinese Linguistics (henceforth BCL) in those academic areas to which he devoted his life, and to nurture future torch bearers in the spirit of innovation to continue this gentleman-scholar tradition through holding the Young Scholars Symposium (henceforth YS Symposium) periodically, as well as engaging in other related activities. Professor Li Fang-Kuei was one of the greatest linguists of the twentieth century who was dedicated to excellence and integrity in scholarship. Throughout the course of his long and productive life, he not only strongly supported academic scholarship but also carefully attended to the upbringing of younger generations of scholars. The great achievement of Professor Li Fang-Kuei lies not just in his intellectual talent but also in the broadness of his academic training and interest, including field investigation of American Indian languages, Tai languages and Austronesian language (in Taiwan), historical comparative studies in Tai, historical study in Archaic Chinese, comparative study of classical Tibetan and Chinese, and Sino-Tibetan. The purpose of the YS Symposium is to assemble a group of promising young scholars from all over the world who are working in academic areas related to those pursued by Professor Li Fang-Kuei during his scholarly life. Our hope is that the Symposium will facilitate free and open exchange of ideas in a stimulating and collegial environment of the sort that Professor Li Fang-Kuei himself always fostered and encouraged at scholarly gatherings. Although there are a sizeable number of bright young scholars in various sub-fields of Chinese and Sino-Tibetan linguistics, there are few opportunities for them to gather and share their ideas freely, to forge a sense of common identity and to formulate a vision for the future. The Symposium provides a platform for these promising young scholars to argue for their own viewpoints but at the same time to engage respectfully with differences of opinion, as well as to foster a spirit of cooperation, mutual support and productive criticism. Through the Symposium we not only honor Prof. Li Fang-Kuei’s rigorous scholarship and fine character, but also hope to instill these same qualities in the upcoming generation of scholars who will continue the outstanding legacy left to us by Professor Li Fang-Kuei. In 2013, the LFK Society held its First three-day YS Symposium in Seattle, which was a resounding success. In 2018, the LFK Society held its Second three-day YS Symposium in Taiwan, which was another resounding success, resulting in the general demand of holding this Symposium regularly every five years.

This paper shows that both Tibetan and Old Chinese preserve lexicalized traces of several nominalization prefixes which are still productive in morphologically more conservative languages of the Trans-Himalayan family such as Rgyalrongic, which can thus serve as a model for analyzing other languages.

W. S. Coblin
Closely associated with the Chinese rime table (Chin. děngyùntú 等韻圖) tradition is an ordered list of syllables, referred to in Chinese as the Sānshíliù zìmŭ 三十六字母. As this term indicates, there are thirty-six members in the usually cited full list. A shorter version, found in the so-called Shǒuwēn 守溫 Fragments from Dunhuang, has only thirty members (cf. Coblin 2006a). In addition to the copies of the list incorporated into the various tables themselves, several “disembodied” lists, perhaps copybook exercises of some sort, have also been found in the broader corpus of Chinese Dunhuang texts (Coblin 2006b: 146). The syllable initial classes for which the characters in the rime tables serve as names are basic componential elements in the field of traditional Chinese historical phonology and as such have been subject to intense scrutiny for nearly 1000 years. On the other hand, the actual names themselves have attracted little attention. It has been noted that each naming syllable denoted by the characters in the list embodies the particular medieval syllable initial of the sound class for which it stands in the tables. But beyond this the question of how these particular syllables, rather than all other available ones, were selected, seems to have aroused scant interest among philologists and sinolinguists. It is, accordingly, this question that will be the topic of the present paper.

Compared with prototypical universal quantifiers in other languages of the world, dou in Mandarin Chinese presents more complicated semantic behaviors. One of the most disputed issues is what are the relations between dou expressing “universal quantification” (uq) and dou expressing “scalar trigger” (sca). First-hand data that comes from 40 languages demonstrates that Mandarin Chinese is the only language that employs the same form for “universal quantification” and “scalar trigger”. The empirical evidence strongly suggests that uq dou and sca dou are different, and the two functions uq and sca lack universal conceptual correlations. The special polysemous behavior of Mandarin dou, is proved to come from two language-specific reanalysis processes in dou’s diachronic development which also supports the two-dou claim. The study thus instantiates how a cross-linguistic perspective provides insights to explain long-standing language-particular issues. Besides, it is also argued that the cross-linguistic approach is promising in predicting if a future research is on a right track as it can steer us through overgeneralization and undergeneralization.
