Research Interests
MI am interested in phonetics-based phonology
and speech perception in general. I'm currently working on Interrogative intonation
of North Kyungsang Korean for my dissertation. Besides, I am also interested
in intonation and pitch accents of Korean and Japanese, and segmental anchoring
of lexical and intonational tones.
