I am currently working on a couple of things:
Theoretical
- Numerals, quantification & intensification
- negation and gradable adjectives
- Correlatives in wh-in-situ languages: locality and quantificational variability
- Reduplicated numerals and distributivity (with Filipe Hisao Kobayashi)
- “Tenselessness” and the Future/Non-Future tenses in Chinese (with Nick Huang)
- Tone sandhi patterns and the tonal domain in Longyou Wu
Experimental
- Resolving scope ambiguity: structural principles and QuD (with Martin Hackl)
- Memory in the processing of anaphoric presuppositions (with E. Matthew Husband)
- Acquisition of manner/result complementarity (with Anne C. Mills)
Some previous projects that I worked on:
- Processing of tense in English and Chinese (with E. Matthew Husband)
- Sublexical decomposition of Chinese compound characters (with Prof Aditi Lahiri)
Before moving to Boston, I completed an MPhil in General Linguistics at the University of Oxford, where I wrote my thesis on the processing of lifetime effects under the supervision of Dr E. Matthew Husband at the Language and Brain Lab.
- Lifetime effects in the news
- Tense fun: Back to the Future Grammar (The Big Bang Theory)
