Recently, Professor Luo Qiongpeng from School of Liberal Arts, 黑料社, published a full-length research paper "Expressivity in Modern Chinese" in The Oxford Handbook of Expressivity.
Based on Multidimensional Compositional System, this paper proposes a precise and formalized analytical path to deeply analyze the meaning composition of the emotional expression phenomenon in Chinese. This approach provides an exercisable framework for the formal analysis of emotional expression, a common phenomenon in natural languages including Chinese. Moreover, it offers new thoughts for further understanding of "emotional expression", a core topic that spans the fields of linguistics, philosophy, artificial intelligence, etc.
The Oxford Handbook Series is Oxford University Press's most prestigious scholarly publication series and The Oxford Handbook of Expressivity is the first research guide in the field of expressivity among the series. Its authors include representative scholars who specialize in fields, such as Formal Semantics and Semantics-Pragmatics Interface. Among them, Professor Luo Qiongpeng is the only contributor from China.
