Pin Wang
A/Prof, Shanghai Jiao Tong University
Ph.D. (Fudan University), B.A., M.A. (Dalian Maritime University)
I am an associate professor at the Department of English, School of Foreign Languages, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, in China. I also work as Secretary of the Academic Committee at the Martin Centre for Appliable Linguistics attached to the School. The Centre is named after Prof. J. R. Martin at the University of Sydney.
I obtained my PhD degree in linguistics at the College of Foreign Languages and Literature of Fudan University under the supervision of Prof. Zhu Yongsheng. My doctoral thesis addresses the complementarity between lexis and grammar, with focus on the semantic system of person and evidence from a variety of languages.
My chief research interests are Systemic Functional Linguistics and Linguistic Typology, and I will be working on the integration of the two disciplines, known as Systemic Functional Typology, a facet of what M. A. K. Halliday has envisioned as Appliable Linguistics. I will mainly focus on classical languages (e.g. Sanskrit), Mandarin Chinese and minority languages of China (e.g. Tibetan).
I am an ardent language learner, with various degrees of proficiency in over a dozen languages. I also have experience of teaching several of them, such as English, Sanskrit, Latin, and Japanese.
You can find on this website my education and employment history, research interests and projects, teaching experience, publications and conference presentations.
