I am interested in Corpus Linguistics and Cognitive Linguistics, especially on Chinese classifier and visual verbs in Chinese and English languages. My research methodology mainly includes R-based and Python-based data manipulation techniques and machine-learning modelling such as Behavioural Profile analysis, Semantic Vector Space model, Conditional Decision Tree, Random Forest, and Regression model. My recent research is on the diachronic grammaticalization of Chinese classifiers.
