The 2^nd Workshop on Innovations in Cantonese Linguistics (WICL 2) will take place on March 7, 2014, at the University of Chicago, U.S.A. The workshop focuses on new advances in Cantonese Linguistics, including innovations in methodologies, tools, and/or computing software.

• Elaine Francis (Purdue University)
• Benjamin Munson (University of Minnesota)

WICL2 will meet in conjunction with the 2^nd East Asian Psycholinguistics Colloquium (EAPC 2), to be held on March 8 at the University of Chicago. We encourage attendees of WICL2 to attend the EAPC 2 as well.
