《中西方民间叙事比较研究（英文）》主要是针对中西方民间叙事进行比较研究。这是一项基于人文学的跨学科、跨文化的研究，它涵盖了中西方语言、文学、历史、心理学、哲学、宗教等学科。本研究主要围绕中西文学中的六个民间叙事展开，研究的主要理论基础是约瑟夫坎贝尔（Joseph Campbell）的《千面英雄》（The Hero with a Thousand Faces）（1968）与《神话的力量》（The Power of Myth）（2001），卡尔荣格（Carl Jung）的《原型和集体无意识》（The Archetypes and Collective Unconscious）（1980），弗拉基米尔普罗普（Vladimir Propp）的 《民间故事形态学》（Morphology of the Folktale）（1968）及罗伯特圣克莱尔（Robert St. Clair）的《文学结构、人物发展与戏剧场景对小说类别的限定》（Literary Structures， Character Development，and Dramaturgical Scenarios in Framing the Category Novel）（2004）。研究以上述的神话理论、原型及集体无意识理论和情节结构理论作为指导，详细对比分析了中西民间故事中的叙事主题、情节结构和人物原型，以揭示中西故事之间的深层关系。此外，本研究的另一个目的是希望通过对中国民间叙事的分析，验证上述的西方理论框架和理论范式是否具有文化局限性，是否可以用于非西方 的文学作品研究。
