劉學言先生
背景簡介
劉學言,英國雷丁大學(The University of Reading)博士生,研究英文歌詞社會語言學,同時亦是香港明愛專上學院語文及通識科講師。先後在香港大學和香港中文大學取得兩個文學碩士學位,主修領域分別是語言學和哲學。前者以優異(Distinction)成績修畢,而後者更是獲得院長嘉許譽錄(Dean's List)。除了學術領域上的發展,我亦堅持對音樂的熱誠,特別是歐美六十年代起的音樂,包括披頭四(The Beatles)和後來的皇后樂團(Queen)、老鷹樂團(The Eagles)、Elton John等等。其歌詞總是若隱若現地呈現出一些社會性信息。因此,便開始了一系列關於英文歌詞的語言學研究。除此之外,亦展開了哲學領域上的寫作和研究,主要是包括海德格哲學、中國哲學和哲學輔導。
