Using ample evidence\, he seeks to draw a distinction between lexical development and the development of grammar and syntax in the Tibetan language by comparing the latter with the Altai Language Family. \nSpeaker’s Bio: Prof. Dr. Yeshes Atshogs has been a professor and doctoral student advisor in the Chinese Department at Nankai University since 2008\, where he also serves as a doctoral supervisor in the linguistics program. In 2003\, he earned his Ph.D. in linguistics from Nankai University under the guidance of Professor Zeng Xiaoyu. Subsequently\, his academic achievements have been noteworthy. In 2004\, he was honored with the “Hashimoto Santaro Chinese Historical Phonology Award” and the “Young Scholar Award” by the International Association of Chinese Linguistics (IACL). Notably\, in 2005\, Prof. Yeshi Atso received the prestigious “National Excellent Doctoral Dissertation Award.” His remarkable contributions continued as he consecutively secured the second and third prizes for “Outstanding Achievements in Humanities and Social Sciences in Chinese Universities” in the fourth and fifth editions of 2006 and 2009\, respectively. \nThis event is hosted by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute and co-sponsored by the Modern Tibetan Studies Program. \nRegistration: \n\nTo attend this event in-person\, please register HERE.\nTo attend this event online\, please register HERE.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact Information\nJulie Kwan\njk4371@columbia.edu\n\n
