Chan, one of three keynote speakers, presented a paper entitled “Orthographic variants in the Cantonese love ballad, Romance of the Fancy Notepaper (Huajian Ji 花箋記): 1713 to present-day editions” at the Second Workshop on Innovations in Cantonese Linguistics (WICL-2), held at the University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, on 7 March 2014.

Marjorie K.M. Chan gave an invited talk entitled “Gender, Society and the Chinese Language" at Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, on 20 March 2014. It was part of their "Chinese Language, Culture, and Society” lecture series in Spring 2014. For more information see the China Center.
Abstract: There are many sociolinguistic as well as pragmatic issues and related research questions that arise in examining gender and language use in Chinese society. In recent years, we have only begun to explore this much-neglected area in Chinese linguistics, to contribute to a growing body of cross-linguistic, interdisciplinary research on the topic. In this talk, Dr. Chan will address some of the issues, such as gendered voices, gender differences in communication style, and gender-linked variation in the use of sentence-final particles.
Marjorie K.M. Chan gave a presentation entitled “Legacy of Cantonese opera performer Hong Xiannü (紅線女)" at the 2014 CHINOPERL Annual Conference on 27 March 2014, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. [The CHINese Oral and PERorming Literature (CHINOPERL) conference is held in conjunction with the 2014 annual meeting of the Association for Asian Studies (AAS), held on 27-30 March 2014, at the Philadelphia Downtown Marriott, Philadelphia, PA.]
Abstract: Hong Xiannü (紅線女, 1924-2013) is undoubtedly the most famous female Cantonese opera performer of the twentieth century in the People's Republic of China. She passed away on 8 December 2013 at the age of 88. This paper will introduce Hong Xiannü to the CHINOPERL audience as well as pay tribute to her extraordinary contributions to Cantonese opera during her long and productive career, one in which she innovated and developed a “Hong” style (the basis for the “Hong School”) of vocal music that boldly brought in vocal styles from Peking opera, Kunqu and Western singing traditions. Some short video excerpts from her performances will be included as part of the presentation.
