My name is Baifeng FU, and I am a PhD researcher in English Linguistics under the supervision of Dr. Dámaso López García and Dr. Huiling LUO. My doctoral project is entitled “Linguistic and Discursive Mediation in Higher Education Policy: An Analysis of Chinese–English Translations and British Government Policies Discursive Features.”

My current research focuses on translation studies, discourse analysis, corpus linguistics, and intercultural communication. In particular, I examine how key concepts and culturally specific expressions in Chinese higher-education policy discourse are linguistically and discursively recontextualised in English translation. I also compare translated Chinese policy discourse with English-original governmental and institutional discourse on higher education, using corpus-assisted methods together with Systemic Functional Linguistics and Critical Discourse Analysis.

My previous academic research has mainly focused on language-learning strategies and English-language education, and I have published research in these areas. My broader academic interests include English linguistics, translation, educational discourse, intercultural communication, and language education.

Alongside my academic work, I have extensive professional experience in higher education and international affairs, including university-level English teaching and research, as well as work involving international communication, policy research, and cross-cultural exchange.
