I’m a graduate student in the Cognitive and Linguistics Department. I finished my undergraduate study and M.A. in English Linguistics in Korea, where my research was primarily on how second language learners (Koreans) acquire English pronunciations and intonation. Here at Brown, I’m interested in how English-speaking children acquire the phonology of their native language. Currently, I am looking at corpus data to examine children’s longitudinal development of phonology. I think it’s amazing that young children go through a systemic trial and error procedure when they acquire their mother tongue, just like adult learners do when they learn foreign languages! |
