BiographyMatthews received his B.A. in Modern and Medieval Languages from the University of Cambridge, and his Ph.D. in Linguistics from the University of Southern California. In the 1990s, Matthews went to Hong Kong to became a teacher at University of Hong Kong.[3] He has taught at the University of Hong Kong, the University of Melbourne and University of Paris. He has co-authored Cantonese: A Comprehensive Grammar (1994, second edition 2011) and other works on Cantonese. He has co-edited (with Bernard Comrie and Maria Polinsky) The Atlas of Languages (1996), which has been translated into several languages. He has published scholarly articles in the Journal of Linguistics, Journal of Chinese Linguistics, Journal of East Asian Linguistics, Natural Language and Linguistic Theory and Linguistic Typology and Bilingualism: Language and Cognition. Matthews is married to linguist Virginia Yip, and has three bilingual children: a son and two daughters.[4] He is an amateur musician, playing second violin with the Hong Kong Chamber Orchestra and the SAR Philharmonic. He is an academic signatory to the Declaration of Reasonable Doubt concerning the Shakespeare Authorship Question. His Chinese name (馬詩帆) was given to him by his wife Virginia Yip.[5] The Hong Kong Bilingual Child Language CorpusThe Hong Kong Bilingual Child Language Corpus, which is reported in 2005 as the world's largest video-linked database of children becoming bilingual, created by Matthews and Yip, features 170 hours of audio and video files of four families raising their children bilingually in Cantonese and English. The project, which includes transcripts and searchable video and audio segments, took 10 years to compile. This database has already been the data source for several undergraduate and graduate dissertations in Hong Kong, and it is the basis of a book, The Bilingual Child, written by Yip and Matthews and published by Cambridge University Press in 2007, which received the Leonard Bloomfield Book Award from the Linguistic Society of America in 2009. The database focuses on children who are bilingual in English and Cantonese and who learned to speak two languages through the one-parent, one-language approach. Using that method, one parent speaks to the child in one language, and the other parent speaks to the child in another. Research Projects
