Sign Language Linguistics Center |
| Some of the meeting participants returned to their home countries today. Those who stayed behind to see more of Hong Kong were invited to the Chinese University of Hong Kong to see the campus and the Sign Language Linguistics Center where the Nippon Foundation project for dictionaries is based. |
|
The morning's tour began in the Linguistics Department's office building where the professors have their offices. |
|
Then the group walked around the campus which is set on top of seaside mountain. |
|
At one point the group stopped to feed the fish in a large ornamental pond surrounding a small kiosk on an island. |
|
From the campus we took our group's bus to the building where the deaf linguistics students from Indonesia and Sri Lanka live during the two years they will study at CUHK. |
|
The living situations can be quite different from what the Asian students are accustomed to in their home countries where there may be no tables and chairs in a house where everything happens on the floor. |
|
Then the group went to another campus building where the sign language linguistics work is actually done and where the deaf students study linguistic principles. |
|
The tour ended with lunch together in a food court in a campus center building. |
