Research topic
I am interested in elucidating the mechanisms of various phenomena involving speech sounds. In particular, I aim to theoretically explain the universality and differences between different languages. Currently, my research mainly focuses on how to represent the sound systems of various languages, including English, using theories based on universal grammar.
