Ms. Shen Yuan is an associate professor of the Department of English of Fudan University, Shanghai. She got her M.A. in (English) Linguistics from Fudan University and her Ph.D. in Linguistics from City University of Hong Kong where she extended her research interest from the study of English to that of Chinese, and the similarities and differences in the working mechanisms underlying the use and interpretation of Chinese and English. During her research stay at Harvard-Yenching Institute she researched the parametric variation in the choice of nominal forms in Chinese and English. The study aimed at revealing which grammatical properties are inherently linked and which are only accidentally related in the choice of nominal forms in Chinese and English, which would provide insights into questions like the parametrization of lexical properties and the constraints on crosslinguistic variation.

Wang Wei (Ph.D., Graduate School, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences) is currently Assistant Research Fellow and Journal Editor at the Institute of Linguistics, CASS. He has been working on the temporal system of the Chinese language compared to Indo-European languages. His current focus is on the metaphoric contrasts in temporal construal of spatial concepts between Chinese and English and the ramifications on their respective tense/aspect system. He is also interested in the evolution of contemporary Chinese language, particularly the period when it was under the impact of translation literature at the turn of the 20th century.

Current Research Projects and Interests: Comparative studies among English, Chinese and Tongan in the proposed paradigm of 'Non-Verb Continuum'
