近年来，在美国高等教育界逐渐受到重视的跨学科的文化与语言课程（Cultures and Languages Across the Curriculum，简称CLAC）反映了美国社会对多元文化、多种语言和国际化的需求。那么如何将CLAC运用到美国高校汉语课程建设中呢？本文将以美国东南部的一所私立大学的中文项目为例，对这一问题进行探讨。文章首先介绍了CLAC的教学理念及课程结构，然后分析了该校的CLAC汉语课程实践对其中文项目的生源、学生的语言学习以及教师职业能力发展等三个方面的影响，以期对未来美国高校汉语课程建设提供一些初步借鉴。 read more
2021 納西語音節弱化與合音 [Syllable reduction and syllable coarticulation in Naxi]: 單音節到超音段的演變路徑 [On the path from monosyllables to suprasegments] Language and Linguistics 22:3, pp. 410–439 | Article
