Hello! (English)Hello! I am Yuhyeon Seo (pronounced [ju:hjən sə:] 서유현 ユーヒョン ソー). Starting Fall 2024, I will join the Department of Psychology at State University of New York at Oswego as Assistant Professor.
My research is centered on phonetics and phonology of bilingual speakers, especially from a cognitive perspective. I'm particularly interested in investigating cross-linguistic influence in speech production and perception among different types of bilinguals. At Purdue University, I was a member of the Purdue Experimental Phonetics and Phonology Lab (Director: Dr. Olga Dmitrieva) and the Purdue Bilingualism Lab (Director: Dr. Daniel J. Olson). My dissertation project investigated L2 cross-linguistic influence on the L1 phonetic and phonological systems of two types of bilinguals: Korean heritage speakers and long-term immigrants in the US. Key words in my dissertation: cross-linguistic influence, phonetic drift, heritage language, L1 attrition, transfer, cue weighting, perceptual discrimination, Korean, English, tonogenesis, the Speech Learning Model As a secondary interest, I also branch out into experimental morphosyntax, with a particular focus on heritage speakers. |
