WELCOME ...

My research interests include lexicography, world Englishes, Chinese English, history of linguistics. I am also interested in Chinese classical studies (philology and literary texts), and particularly in the interface of language and history and having "a global angle of native scholarship", that is, situating classical Chinese studies into the global context and conducting comparative investigations across major civilizations. The information here is intended primarily for students who may be interested in taking courses that I teach or working with me on research projects (e.g., applied projects, theses, dissertations), and for researchers who may be interested in topics that I am studying. Please feel free to email me (qinxiaohui@ustb.edu.cn) with any questions about the information provided in this website.
