I am an Assistant Professor and Researcher (专职研究员) at the National Research Centre for Foreign Language Education (中国外语与教育研究中心) & National Research Centre for State Language Capacity (国家语言能力发展研究中心) at Beijing Foreign Studies University (北京外国语大学). [If you're not familiar with Chinese universities, you can think of these research centers as being similar to ZAS in Germany. ]
My research focuses on the interface between different modules of grammar, with particular attention to the syntax–semantics interface and the division of labor between these two. I work from the assumption that no single grammatical module can fully account for complex linguistic phenomena on its own. I am also interested in the roles that morphology, pragmatics, and/or phonology can play in a comprehensive analysis of linguistic phenomena.
Drawing on my background in cognitive science, I also seek to explore how formal linguistic explanations can be integrated into a broader cognitive science framework, rather than remaining discipline-centered and isolated.
The specific language phenomena I am working on are complex predicates, including both verbs and adjectives. I am currently working on causative/causation, contextualized argument interpretation, and the vague gradable adjectives with particular attention to an understudied type of adjectival classifier .
