Research

My research is mainly concerned with how subcategorical phonetic details are encoded in the cognitive mechanisms of speech production and perception. One of the key factors in that mechanism is the links between linguistic forms and social characteristics of speakers. As a sociophonetician and a psycholinguist, I am also interested in language variation, sociophonetic variation of Korean, social meaning of variants, experience-based linguistic modeling, prosody, acoustic and articulatory phonetics, L1/L2 phonological development, and corpus-based approaches.
