4.Gan, Hakka and the Formation of Chinese Dialects. Laurent Sagart.
Abstract: The author argues that Hakka and southern Gan are sister dialects, as they share several innovations not found elsewhere; that they arose out of the Chinese dialect spoken in central Jiangxi in Song times, a stratified dialect which included a non-Chinese substratum, probably Miao-Yao; an archaic layer; and a more recent layer with an important Late Middle Chinese component. It is claimed that the linguistic boundary between southern Gan and Hakka arose secondarily due to the effect of an old administrative and geographical boundary. It is also argued that Hakka devoicing took place in the south, when Hakka was in contact with the MiaoYao language She, and that the old dialect of the city of Ganzhou may have played an important role in the formation of Hakka.

But in Chinese languages, stress is not just be defined by one criterion infallibly; the list of criteria could be extended with register, duration and contour. Chinese is not a typical stress language. In this article, we will discuss two variations of stress in the Wu（吳） and Gan（贛） dialects.

湘语语法研究-卢小群
Grammar studies of the Xiang dialect
The book "卢小群完成湘语语法研究" is divided into several chapters and covers the following aspects:
1. Chapter "Reasoning". A look at the history and current state of studying the grammar of the Xiang dialect.
2. Chapter "Word formation". The grammatical forms of the word, systems of pronouns, prepositions, quantifiers, real-time negation, temporative nouns, directive nouns, etc. are comprehensively considered.
