秦俊红编著的《女性主义特征的及物性研究——中篇小说饥饿个案分析》选取美国华裔作家张岚的中篇小说《饥饿》为语料。为提高分析的信度，作者采用了统计工具，将文本输入、分割、标示，使其自动统计出该文本中各种过程的相互关系，旨在通过大量而准确的统计数据来证明男性和女性倾向于在不同语境中使用不同的及物性结构，借此来深入探讨文学作品中的性别歧视问题。

秦俊红编著的《女性主义特征的及物性研究——中篇小说饥饿个案分析》在女性文体学的框架下，选取美国华裔女作家张岚的中篇小说《饥饿》为语料，借助系统功能语言学中的及物性理论对该小说中八个有代表性的语音片段进行语法分析，并通过systemic coder这一统计工具进行了数据统计和运算，证明小说中男性和女性语言使用者在及物性结构层面存在显著性差异。在此基础上，《女性主义特征的及物性研究——中篇小说饥饿个案分析》依据系统功能语法的语境理论，得出这种现象归根结底是美国男权社会对华裔妇女的歧视在文学作品中的体现。
