(Last updated: Jan 2020)

I am an assistant professor at the Research Institute for Chinese Minority Languages, Minzu University of China.

Bio
I was born in Yanji, Jilin. As a Chinese Korean, the local Korean dialect is one of my native languages (the other is Mandarin). I graduated from Jilin University with a BA in Journalism in 2005, and entered the MA program in Chinese Linguistics at the department of Chinese Languages and Literature at Peking University the same year. I received both my PhD in Theoretical Linguistics (Nov. 2015) and MS in Computational Linguistics (April, 2015) at Georgetown University. I started my first academic job--current position--in July 2016.

Research
My research interests center around semantics and pragmatics, with a focus on the study of modality and related phenomena in natural languages. I also complement my theoretical research with quantitative corpus study and/or field work.

Current projects
Semantics of attitudes: a long-term project, with the goal of providing a fine-grained semantic/pragmatic analysis for various attitude predicates based mainly on Mandarin and Korean data.
Epistemic indefinites: the interaction of Mandarin Wh-words with modals and negation.
Interaction of modals and attitudes: a book based on my dissertation, written in Chinese, targeted at graduate students, aiming for introducing what formal semantics is and illustrating how to conduct a semantics project.
