About the author

Qilong Cheng, Professor of Linguistics at Shanghai University, China. Professor Cheng is developing a formal model to account for the realization relations between richer conceptual contents and various constructions. He has been cultivating a hyper-disciplinary view with a formal model which is not incompatible with neurological evidence and is operational in both comprehension and production processes.
Qianwen Cheng, Lecturer of English at Shanghai University, China. In her recent published articles, Dr. Cheng is developing a new version of Cognitive Event Frame to adequately account for both the verb-construction associations and the alternate realizations.
