The ideas on language evolution coming out of MIT Linguistics are increasingly bizarre & un-biological. First the claim that language has nothing to do with communication ... cambridge.org/core/journals/…

My first published paper with my supervisor and dear senior lab members! It is to investigate the cognitive impact of infant-directed speech on first language acquisition. IDS may function more as an attention getter not contrasting. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

My first time to present sildes in a conference! It's really glad to have the audiance and some feedbacks. #SNLmtg

Wonderful keynotes in #SNLmtg and Nice posters and symposia! Very fruitful journey in #Marseille

First preprint! I argue that co-speech pointing gestures are the linguistic unit in infants' word learning. Those gestures are integral to the linguistic system, making the auditory and visual information interpretable for infants. osf.io/preprints/psya…… via Center for Open Science

Finally, I’m a PhD in Linguistics. Pursuing the degree in my favorite subject is a lucky and joyful journey. Great thanks to those who’ve helped me! (can’t believe I did it by my 26).
