Standard Chinese contact and generational variation in an urban dialect tonal system
In China, sustained promotion of Standard Chinese (Putonghua) has intensified dialect–standard contact, under which urban tone systems may exhibit generational differentiation.

A controlled monosyllabic reading task elicited productions from 72 native speakers divided into three age groups and balance…

Evaluating Machine Translation of the Shan Hai Jing
Culturally dense classical texts pose persistent challenges for machine translation, particularly in reconstructing compressed semantic hierarchies and culture-specific references. Although Neural Machine Translation (NMT) and Large Language Models (LLMs) have substantially improved fluency and contextual coherence, previous studies have given limited attention to the evaluation of their performance on culturally embedded classical texts using MQ…
Reconstructing the Fictional Character of Fourteenth Daughter Xin (Xin Shisi Niang) in the English Translation of Liaozhai Zhiyi
Fourteenth Daughter Xin (Xin Shisi Niang) is one of the unusual tales in the anthology Liaozhai Zhiyi by Chinese novelist Pu Songling. The characterization of Fourteenth Daughter Xin, crafted to portray both the character development of the memorable female protagonist and the story’s structure, contains numerous Chinese literary and cultural elements that present challenges in English translation. This study, based on a systematic examination of…
Readiness for Autonomy Among CFL Learners
Learner autonomy is paramount in 21st-century education, representing a crucial qualification for lifelong learning. In the area of Chinese as a second/foreign language (CSL/CFL), it is also an important objective of curriculum instruction. However, there is a dearth of empirical research on learner autonomy in a wide range of cultural contexts and distinct domains of language use, especially in the context of CFL. This study aims to scrutinize t…
