The University of Hong Kong provides a relatively well-balanced program stressing on both the theoretical and applied aspects of linguistics. Unlike the Chinese University, whose scholars are mostly interested in Generative Grammar, many of the scholars at HKU subscribe to the school of Functional Grammar and are consequentially more practical in mind. The department is also renowned for their research in psycholinguistics and typology.
