Ying Wang is an Associate Professor in English linguistics at Karlstad University since 2020, specializing in English for academic purposes, applied corpus linguistics, and second language writing. She holds a PhD from Uppsala University (2013) and has taught courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels focusing on academic writing, second language pedagogy, and corpus methodology.
Her research explores rhetorical structures in disciplinary genres, evaluative language resources, and the impact of extramural English activities on L2 writing development. Notable projects include the Swedish Learner English Corpus (SLEC) initiative and analyses of predatory publishing practices in political science. She has also examined government communication strategies during the UK's COVID-19 pandemic response through corpus-assisted discourse studies.
Key research contributions span formulaic language use in ELF contexts, methodological innovations in corpus linguistics, and linguistic comparisons between well-established and predatory journals. Her work bridges theoretical linguistics with practical applications in education and scholarly publishing ethics.
Publications span prestigious journals like English for Specific Purposes, Text & Talk, and Journal of Second Language Writing, reflecting her interdisciplinary approach to language studies. Current projects emphasize corpus-driven research on academic communication practices and their pedagogical implications.
