Acknowledgements
This book grows out of my PhD thesis which was completed in 2014 at School of English, University of Hong Kong. It would not have been possible without the generous financial support in the form of a 4-year PhD Fellowship provided by Research Grants Council of Hong Kong. I would like to extend my gratitude to Adrian Pablé and Chris Hutton at HKU for intellectual inspiration, illuminating guidance, and generous support throughout my PhD years and beyond. I am truly grateful for the opportunity of having worked with them and benefited from their teaching, the symposiums, and conferences organized by them. They have been excellent supervisor and mentor to cultivate rigorous, imaginative scholarship and foster independent critical thinking. I would also like to express my indebtedness to my teachers in mainland China, where I finished most of my education. My deepest thanks go to Zhu Lei at Shanghai International Studies University for first awakening my interest in linguistics, and to He Gang of East China Normal University for guiding me through an initial academic training. I also thank my colleagues in the Department of English at Lingnan
