International Symposium on Ancient Chinese Grammar to take place from
February 21st - February 25th 1994 at the East Asian Seminar, University of
Zurich. Scholars interested are kindly invited to participate.

At the East Asia Seminar of the University of Zurich, Department of
Sinology, a project funded by the Swiss Science Foundation and devoted to
the grammar of the Zuo-zhuan is currently under way. Research is
concentrating on two aspects: the syntax of the grammatical morphemes, i.e.
the so-called xu ci (Prof. He Leshi), and the syntax of the verbs (Prof.
R.H. Gassmann). In connection with this project the undersigned are
planning to organise a symposium on Ancient Chinese grammar. This symposium
is meant to further contacts between researchers in the field, to discuss
the results of work conducted elsewehere as well as in the project, and to
establish and further collaboration between specialists in the various
fields of Ancient Chinese grammar (phonology, semantics, syntax, etc.).

The symposium will take place from Monday, February 21st, to Friday,
February 25th 1994, at the East Asia Seminar in Zurich. A not yet specified
number of leading scholars in the field from all parts of the world will be
personally invited to participate and to substantially contribute to the
topics and discussions. In addition, the organisers would like to encourage
other researchers in the field to attend the sessions, which will be
devoted to phonology, semantics, syntax, lexicography, and other aspects of
the grammar of the Chinese language in the second half of the first
millennium B.C. Naturally the grammar of the Zuo-zhuan will also be a focus
of interest. Conference languages will be English and Chinese.

Scholars interested in participating in the symposium are kindly invited
to notify the organisers of their intent, at the same time specifying their
field of research (a list of publications would be appreciated) and
furnishing a brief outline of a possible contribution. Mail and inquiries
should be addressed to: Prof.Dr. R.H. Gassmann, East Asia Seminar of the
University of Zurich, Zurichbergstrasse 4, CH-8032 Zurich (Tel. 01-257 31
81 / Fax 01-261 56 87 / E-mail K464810CZHRZU1A.BITNET;  oass@oas.unizh.ch).
