Email: jooyoung.kim@iitgn.ac.in
My primary research interests are in linguistics, which aims to understand the nature of human minds by investigating language and communication. I have conducted research on syntax-semantic interfaces of questions and adjunct clauses in East Asian and Austronesian languages based on fieldwork and data elicitation. My interests also include teaching English as a second language in the academic setting, academic writing, and teaching Korean.
