A girl with a passion for linguistics

I am currently a junior research assistant in the Childhood Bilingualism Research Centre (CBRC) at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), where I received my M.A. in Linguistics. Falling in love with Linguistics is quite an unexpected but most beautiful thing in my life, which lets me find what I am really interested in. My primary research interests lie in early language acquisition and bilingualism, as well as language processing. I am also curious  about neurolinguistics and language disorder, which I determine to learn deeper in the future.
Born in Anhui, Bengbu, a central part of mainland China, I am a native speaker of Mandarin. I am also fluent in English. As for Cantonese and French, I am still learning them by myself.
