Features: Leaders of Beijing Foreign Studies University and Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press decided to launch three series of academic monographs: Language, Literature, and Culture. They also stated: "Maintain high quality, create a brand, embody the characteristics of BFSU, and even at a loss, we will publish." This is a visionary initiative and a meritorious act that will undoubtedly play a significant role in promoting foreign language teaching and research in China. Here, we express our sincere gratitude for their support.
What are the principles for compiling the Language Research Series? In summary, it is: continue to introduce what needs to be introduced, but place greater emphasis on innovation. Undoubtedly, foreign disciplines or theories that have not yet been introduced to China can still be introduced as before, but we hope to see Chinese scholars, while absorbing foreign research achievements, also carry out their own research by integrating the social, cultural, linguistic, and teaching realities of China. Doctoral dissertations by Chinese researchers in China or within the country, after being processed and organized, may be selected for this series.
