PhD.Associate Research Professor of Phonetics and Speech Science Research Unit, Institute of Linguistics, CASS

Director of the Speech, Language, and Brain Lab (SLB).

I employ a comprehensive approach, utilizing neuroelectrophysiology, eye-tracking, behavioral experiments, and network-based technologies to collect multimodal data. Through in-depth exploration of the Chinese language and cross-linguistic comparisons, research is conducted on the following two major themes:

I.Cognitive and Neural Mechanisms of Speech and Language Processing in Complex Environments:

Representation and processing of phonological variations (e.g., tone sandhi, neutral tones, ambiguous tones).

Auditory attention in speech perception under complex acoustic conditions.

Language and speech learning in bilingual/multilingual individuals, as well as the representation of multilingual systems.

Linguistic forms and cognitive mechanisms of logical expressions in language.

II.Cognitive and Neural Mechanisms of Speech Interaction with Chinese Characteristics:

Interplay between Chinese lexical categories and syntactic components (e.g., the use of verbs and nouns, interpretation of telicity, word structure in Chinese).

Speech and intention expression in conversations and their underlying cognitive and neural mechanisms.
