DESCRIPTION:The reconstruction of the phonology of Old Chinese has greatly 
 advanced during the last decades. As a result\, reconstruction systems whi
 ch were proposed independently by different scholars\, such as Baxter and 
 Sagart (2014)\, Starostin (1989)\, and Zhèngzhāng (2003) resemble each o
 ther much more than earlier reconstructions (Wáng 1980\, Li 1971\, Karlgr
 en 1957). With the increased consensus among scholars\, Old Chinese has al
 so begun to resemble Tibete-Burman languages much closer\, which has lead 
 to an increased research and debate about the position of Chinese within t
 he Sino-Tibetan (or Trans-Himalayan) language family (Behr 1999\, Jacques 
 2015). The goal of the workshop is to bring together experts on Sino-Tibet
 an linguistics\, Ancient Chinese\, Old Chinese reconstruction\, and Chines
 e paleography to discuss future directions of research on Old Chinese phon
 ology in the broader context of the genetic affiliation of Chinese as well
  as the history of the writing system with a special focus on newly excava
 ted documents.
