PROGRESS IN VIETNAMESE LINGUISTICS: INTRODUCTION

The papers published in this special issue are developed versions of presentations given at an online workshop hosted by Nigel Duffield at Konan University (Kobe, Japan) in March 2022. The presenters at this workshop are a diverse collection of international scholars united by their interest in Vietnamese linguistics: hence, the acronym ‘ISVL’. The “2” in the title indicates that this is the second in a series having its origin in a workshop – also online – organized from Harvard-Yenching Institute in April 2021, titled “Vietnamese Linguistics, Typology and Language Universals.” (ISVL-3 will take place as a hybrid online/in-person workshop in March 2023; it is our hope that the series will continue in future years).
