I’m a fourth-year PhD candidate in the Department of Linguistics at Yale University. I’m interested in the structure of language and how it relates to meaning and sound. I love cats. I’m a Hong Konger.
What's new?
- The Seventh Forum on Cantonese Linguistics (FoCaL-7) is now calling for papers! [poster]
- My manuscript “A unified biclausal approach to right dislocation in Chinese” is on Lingbuzz. Comments welcome!
