About
The word "研讨会" (yántǎo huì) is a compound noun formed by combining three distinct morphemes: "研" (yán), meaning to research or investigate; "讨" (tǎo), meaning to discuss or explore; and "会" (huì), meaning a meeting or gathering. Together, they follow a logical semantic sequence—"research" + "discuss" + "meeting"—to create the specific meaning of a seminar or symposium, which is essentially a formal meeting for the purpose of research-based discussion. This structure is typical of modern Chinese terminology, where precise, descriptive compounds are built by stringing together meaningful syllables to form a new, cohesive concept.
