PhD Student


I am a Ph.D. student in Linguistics at the University of British Columbia. My research focuses on exploring the relation between speech perception and speech production through sound changes. I’m curious about how much one’s production strategies correlate with their perception strategies, and the factors that can lead to misalignment between one’s perception and production. My current project investigates the perception and production patterns of Shanghai and Beijing Mandarin speakers through Mandarin nasal rhymes
