Human cognition; language processing in Chinese; bilingualism; learning and memory.
My research investigates language processing, with a specific focus on the processing of spoken and written Chinese. Because of its salient differences in structure from European languages, the Chinese language provides challenging opportunities to explore both language-specific processes involved in comprehension and communication, and the universality of theories developed from the study of European languages.
人類認知、中文語言加工處理、雙語研究、語言心理學、人因心理學及人與電腦的互動
我的研究主要是探討語言加工處理, 特別是對於口頭與書面形式的中文認知加工。中文與歐洲語言在結構上非常不同,因此為研究語言理解和對話中的特定認知加工、以及探索由歐洲語言研究所發展出的理論的普遍性提供了具有挑戰性的機會。
