Project Details
Description
The project constructs a language database of mid-20th century Cantonese with spoken data drawn from Cantonese movies (粵語長片) produced during 1950 and 1970. This database will provide new and additional authentic spoken data for studying the Cantonese language at the levels of lexicon, syntax, semantics and discourse, and also the development of the Cantonese language over the past six decades.
