Linguistic research and language teaching have generally been viewed as two separate types of academic endeavour. While linguists have been preoccupied
with pattern finding and theory building, language teachers often encounter issues that are not readily addressed by theoretical linguistic research. This
collection, with eleven papers touching upon a wide range of issues, stands out as one of the rare concerted efforts toward a meaningful integration of the
two endeavours. Subject matters include tone, stress, word structure, grammatical categories (e.g. classifiers), syntactic structures (including argument
structure), discourse participles, implicit and explicit knowledge, conversational repair, and learner corpus. With a diverse range of theoretical
orientations, this collection serves to showcase some of the productive ways to create synergy between Chinese linguistic research and language education.
