This is a joint seminar proposed by Dr. William Wang, the University of California, Berkeley, and Professor Ovid Tseng, National Chung Cheng University supported by the AIT (U.S.)-CCNAA (Taiwan) Cooperative Science Program. This seminar will focus on language and its psychobiological bases. The seminar will explore how language is organized within the human biological systems, with particular attention paid to the Chinese language. Three basic features of Chinese stand out in contrast with "European" language: the virtual absence of inflectional morphology, the use of lexical tones, and the morphosyllabic nature of the writing system. Most theories in the psychobiological bases of language have been primarily built on the features of "European" languages. The seminar to include Chinese can greatly broaden the bases for deducing the current theories and provide for a broad range of variations in human language. **

这是由加州大学伯克利分校的William Wang博士和国立中正大学的Ovid Tseng教授联合发起的研讨会，并得到AIT（美国）-CCNAA（台湾）合作科学计划的支持。 本次研讨会将重点讨论语言及其心理生物学基础。 研讨会将探讨语言在人类生物系统中是如何组织的，特别关注汉语。 与“欧洲”语言相比，汉语有三个突出的基本特征：几乎没有屈折形态、词汇声调的使用以及书写系统的形态音节性质。 大多数语言心理生物学基础的理论主要建立在“欧洲”语言的特征之上。 包括汉语在内的研讨会可以极大地拓宽现有理论的推导基础，并为人类语言提供广泛的变化。 **
