About the authors
Kuo-ming Sung is Wendy and KK Tse Professor of East Asian Studies and a Professor of Chinese and Linguistics at Lawrence University, Appleton, Wisconsin. He received his bachelor’s degree in Foreign Languages and English Literature from National Taiwan University in 1984 and his Ph.D. in Romance Linguistics from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 1994. He then joined Lawrence University, where he teaches Chinese and Linguistics. His research areas include theoretical syntax, focusing on Romance and East Asian languages, as well as pedagogical grammars of Amdo Tibetan and Mandarin Chinese. He published Jufa Lilun Gaiyao, Introduction to Syntactic Theories, in 1997 (reprinted in 2008, 2015), which has been adopted as the textbook for syntax courses at a number of Chinese colleges. His Colloquial Amdo Tibetan (2005), co-authored with Lha Byams Rgyal, is regarded as a superior textbook on the subject, and its English revised edition is to be published by Routledge in 2020 at the same time as the Chinese edition (Zangyu Anduo Kouyu) by China Tibetology Publishing House. In addition to his academic publications, in 2008 he published Shinaihai de Zhuoma, Drolmas from Shinaihai, a collection of essasys and stories documenting his encounters with Tibetan people from a cultural perspective.
