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 help 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 annual event organized by the Linguistic Society of Hong Kong. We are honored to be hosting the forum for the first time at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in March of 2009.

Keynote Speaker:	Prof. Chu-Ren Huang
	Prof. Huang is Chair Professor of the Department of Chinese and Bilingual Studies at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and Research Fellow at the Institute of Linguistics, Academia Sinica.
Title of Talk:	“From Lexical Semantics to Knowledge Systems: How to Infer Cognitive Systems from Corpus Data”
