I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Sogang Univ. Department of Korean Linguistics. My advisor is Professor Chung-Hoon Lee. I also acquired my Master's degree of Korean Linguistics at Sogang University in Feb, 2023.
My main interest is syntax, formal semantics, and their interfaces. Specifically, I am interested in:
- Ellipsis in Korean coordination constructions
- The concept of partitivity (or possibly, sub-grouping) discovered in the part-whole relationship, specificity (Enç 1991), progressive (Portner 1998).
My thesis topic is going to be on the syntax and semantics of ellipsis phenomena in Korean. As a start, I am investigating ellipsis in Korean coordination constructions which are described in detail in Y. Kim's (1997) paper with the title of Hankwukeuy piwuki hyengsang ('Korean deletion phenomena').
Other topics that I am interested in are:
Other topics that I am interested in are:
- Syntax and semantics of classifiers (e.g., Korean, Chinese)
- Modal-based semantics (tense and aspect)
- Case markers in Korean and other languages
- Nominalizers and complementizers
I am also interested in methods used in semantic fieldworks such as storyboards.
