The present collection of articles grew out of a workshop on
Vietnamese linguistics in 2009 at the University of Stuttgart,
Germany. To our knowledge, no workshop with a comparable scope has
been held outside of Vietnam for the past 20 years, or even longer.
Given the important typological status of Vietnamese as a paradigm
case of an isolating language, the volume covers the most relevant
fields in linguistics: syntax, semantics, phonology, and the
lexicon. A guiding principle in assembling the chapters for this
volume has been to take an inclusive stance as far as the
commitment to different frameworks and research methodologies is
concerned. All the contributors are proponents of recent
developments in their individual areas of specialization. The
editors have taken special care to cater for a readership which
should be as broad as possible. This means that each contribution
is self-contained and does not presuppose any knowledge of
Vietnamese. The volume is recommended to general linguistis,
comparative linguists, typologists and to researchers specializing
in languages of East and South East Asia.
