【Introduction to the Yushan Salon】
National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) has received funding from the Ministry of Education to establish the Yushan Linguistics Project, led by Professor C.-T. James Huang from Harvard University. This project aims to foster collaboration between linguists in Taiwan and international scholars, promoting in-depth linguistic research. Now in its fourth year, the Yushan Linguistics Salon hosts online lectures throughout the year. Each session features a speaker who shares their ongoing, unpublished research. A discussant then provides comments and engages in dialogue with the speaker, followed by an open Q&A session for all participants. This event seeks to inspire new research ideas through academic exchange, encouraging collective insights and discussions. Since its launch in 2022, the series has received widespread support and recognition for its impact.
