Research Interests
Fang Xie’s research spans across experimental pragmatics, corpus pragmatics, internet pragmatics, and digital humanities. Her work centers on cross-cultural differences in language use, multimodal speech act perception, and the cognitive mechanisms underlying these processes. She is particularly interested in how multimodal cues—such as gestures, facial expressions, emojis, and prosodic features—influence the interpretation of speech acts like compliments and apologies. Integrating digital humanities into linguistic inquiry, she employs data-driven methods using tools such as Python, R, and complex network analysis to examine social media discourse, new media communication, and online language behavior.
