Abstract
The 11th International Conference of the European Association of Chinese linguistics (EACL) will be held in Olomouc, Czech Republic. It will be jointly organized by the EACL board, the Department of Asian Studies, the Sinofon project, the Department of English and American Studies, and the Department of General linguistics, Palacký University Olomouc, Czech Republic.
Palacký University Olomouc was founded in the 16th century. It is the oldest university in Moravia and the second-oldest university in the Czech Republic. Its history goes back to December 22, 1573, when the former Jesuit College in Olomouc was given the right to confer degrees, i.e. promoted to university status. Now it is a modern higher education facility with a wide range of study programmes and copious scientific and research activities.
