研究领域
My initial research interest was in second language acquisition and pedagogy. I focused on investigating L2 learners’ pragmatic competence for several years, and proceeded by relating pragmatic research to translation studies and published in this area. I’m currently conducting research projects that use a contrastive approach to investigate differences between Chinese and English in terms of linguistics and discourse properties, using both comparative and parallel corpora.
