香港理工大学

The Department of Chinese and Bilingual Studies (CBS) has a comprehensive research profile in language sciences and linguistics, with special foci on Chinese, bilingualism and Asian languages. We aim for research results that merit a world-leading profile and the potential to generate knowledge and applications that will benefit mankind in general.Research ObjectivesTo understand how language is used in context, in vivo, with special reference to meaning-making by bilingual speakers and writers in Hong Kong and elsewhere in Greater China.To apply our knowledge to language issues in Hong Kong, especially in relation to Chinese language and bilingual education.To train professionals and scholars who, upon successful completion of the postgraduate programme at CBS, can go on to play a crucial role in an increasingly competitive world characterised by multilingualism and multiculturalism.To build a solid scholarly foundation for the effective application of language use in the domains of business and education, such as in the fields of corporate communication, language technology, language education and language testing.

Research Direction

CBS strives to gain a world-leading reputation in empirical, inter-disciplinary research in language sciences by (i) enhancing our research capacity in computational and corpus linguistics, neurolinguistics and cognitive sciences; (ii) expanding international collaboration; and (iii) nurturing young scholars by targeting competitive external grants and producing top-quality publications in high-impact journals.

Major Research Programmes

Translation and Interpreting Studies

Research areas include corpus-based translation studies, translation pedagogies, process-oriented translation studies (including eye-tracking, key-logging data and think-aloud protocols), literary translation and the history of translation in China. Interpreting Studies focuses on the interplay of language and cognition, using neurophysiological and linguistic tools to study professional and novice interpreters’ cerebral lateralisation. Research topics in this area also cover the assessment of interpreting quality, the perception of interpreting performance, pedagogies of interpreting, court interpreting, community interpreting, simultaneous interpreting and corpus-based interpreting studies.
