♣ Research Fields

Linguistic Typology, Contact Linguistics, Historical Syntax, Investigation and Study of Minority Languages

In 2014, he graduated from the Department of Chinese, Translation and Linguistics of City University of Hong Kong, and joined the School of Humanity, Southwest Jiaodong University in the same year; currently, he is chiefly devoted to the investigation and protection of endangered Tibetan and Burmese languages south of Ganzi Prefecture in western Sichuan; the research focuses on the western dialect of Muya language in Shade, Ganzi Prefecture and the Xiazhaba dialect of Zhaba language in Yajiang County; the main research task is to write the Reference Grammar of Zhaba Language (English monograph, which is to be published by Routledge in Britain in 2021), which introduces the morphological syntax of the two languages in detail; Reference Grammar of Muya Language (in the process of writing).

I have four major strands of research. I am interested in language typology, contact Linguistics, historical Linguistics and language documentation. After a three-year fieldwork survey of the Southern Zhuang dialects (Tai-Kadai) in Guangxi Region, China, I wrote a concise reference grammar of Jingxi Zhuang. In recent years, I ventured into unraveling the process and outcome of the grammatical change induced by language contact. I used to focus on seven Zhuang dialects and four Chinese dialects in Guangxi Region, extrapolating a linguistic area of the Central Southern Guangxi Region which is advocated in most of my papers. Now, my research interest is in the domain of language documentation (Minyag and nDrapa, Tibeto-Burman) in Western Sichuan, China.
