Please note, we are currently updating the 2018 Journal Metrics. This unique publication focuses on linguistic issues as they pertain to East Asian languages. It bridges the gap between traditional description and current theoretical research and encourages research that allows these languages to play a significant role in shaping general linguistic theory. The Journal of East Asian Linguistics (JEAL) features Theoretically oriented work on any aspect of the syntax, semantics, pragmatics, phonology, and morphology of an East Asian language. Comparative work among East Asian languages and/or between an East Asian language and any other languages that contributes to the parametric theory of universal grammar. Formal analysis of any aspect of the grammar at any historical stage of a language or the historical development of any language providing it has a bearing on East Asian languages. Interdisciplinary contributions from psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, and computational linguistics that have a particular bearing on the study of East Asian languages.

Cantonese exhibits dislocation copying, a phenomenon whereby some syntactic material in a canonical sentence is repeated after the sentence particle. This paper demonstrates that the familiar Move-and-Elide analysis does not readily accommodate the structural properties of dislocation copying. Instead, the derivation of dislocation copying involves the formation of parallel Ā-chains. The apparent...

While prosodic boundaries are known to affect the acoustic realization of segments and lexical full tones, no study thus far has examined how the f0 realization of a neutral tone is influenced by different prosodic boundaries. This study set out to fill this knowledge gap by investigating the effect of prosodic boundary on neutral-tone realization in Tianjin Mandarin, a variety which has been reported...

This paper offers an analysis of ka41, an aspectual element in Changsha Xiang Chinese. It is argued that this element occupies a position in the inner-aspectual structure of the clause, between the higher aspectual marker ta21 and the lower elements expressing a lexical result (like clean in wash clean). On the basis of its co-occurrence with various verb types, we treat ka41 as an achievement marker:...
