The LSHK Postgraduate Research Forum on Linguistics is a conference organized by postgraduate students of linguistics and linguistics-related disciplines in Hong Kong. The purpose of this event is to provide a platform for research students to introduce their interests and on-going projects, and to exchange their understandings and innovative ideas about linguistic issues. It was conventionally held every two years up to the 4th forum, which was held in 2003. After a five-year suspension, it was held again in March of 2008 at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. It was decided at that time that the forum should become an annual event organized by the Linguistic Society of Hong Kong. We are honored to be hosting the forum for the first time at The City University of Hong Kong in May of 2011.
