yiin standing against a sunlit brick wall

Welcome! I'm yiin, a PhD student in linguistics at the University of Chicago.

序Hello

My research uses quantitative and computational methods to study sound change and language contact, with a current focus on Gan and Mandarin Chinese. I’m also interested in semantics, particularly the semantics of events. Outside of academia, I love basketball, music, cats, and birds.

      I was born in Jiangxi, in a community that speaks Gan Chinese (赣语), and later moved to Jiangsu, where I spent most of my school years. These days, I'm based in Chicago.
