Jiyoung Lee
Research interest: Phonetics, Laboratory Phonology, Psycholinguistics, Language Acquisition
Email: Ljy1004@hanyang.ac.kr
Jiyoung Lee is a Ph.D. student in English Linguistics at Hanyang University, specializing in Experimental Phonetics, Laboratory Phonology, and Prosody in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). She serves as a research assistant at the Hanyang Institute for Phonetics and Cognitive Sciences of Language (HIPCS). Her Ph.D. research focuses on the prosodic characteristics of children and adolescents with ASD in speech production and perception. Additionally, she is exploring the articulatory realization of the Korean lateral 'ㄹ' /l/ and its interactions with other linguistic structures. She also earned her M.A. in English Linguistics at Hanyang university, under the guidance of Professors Taehong Cho and Sahyang Kim, with a thesis titled "An Articulatory Study on the Interplay between Morphological and Prosodic Structure in Korean."
Ziqian Du
Research interest: Phonetics, Phonology, Psycholinguistics

Ziqian Du is a graduate student majoring in English linguistics at Hanyang University. She majored in English literature before and got her Bachelor’s degree at Yanbian University (China) in 2019. After graduation, she came to Hanyang University to study for her Master’s degree under the supervision of Professor Taehong Cho and with the help of Professor Sahyang Kim. Now she is studying for PhD in Hanyang University. As a Chinese and an English learner, she is curious about the production of English phonological contrast by Chinese English learners, so she did research about the phonetic correlates of coda voicing contrast produced by Chinese learners of English, examined how Chinese learners of English use different phonetic correlates (i.e. duration and F0) to encode coda voicing contrast in L2 English compared to the way of Korean learners of English so to understand the cross-language difference in producing phonetic details due to their different language experience.
Mingi Park
Research interest: Phonetics, Phonology, Psycholinguistics
Email: mgpark316@gmail.com
Mingi Park completed her B.A. in English Language and Literature at Hanyang University in 2024 and began her graduate studies in the same year. Her academic interests lie in dialectal variation and prosodic structure. In her previous research, “Does Phrase-Initial Denasalization Extend Beyond Seoul Korean? Evidence from North Gyeongsang Korean,” she investigated phrase-initial phonological processes across dialects. This work led her to develop a growing interest in prosodic typology and cross-dialectal differences, which she is now extending into her M.A. research on the relationship between prosody and syntactic structure.
Junseo Choi
Research interest: Experimental Phonetics, Laboratory Phonology, AI-based Speech Modeling
Email: lingjun26@hanyang.ac.kr
Junseo Choi is an M.A. student in English Linguistics at Hanyang University. His research focuses on the prosodic encoding of pragmatic meaning and the acoustic differences between L1 and L2 speech production. He is particularly interested in how Korean learners of English realize intonational patterns and how these differences can be modeled using AI-based approaches.
He has developed AI-driven pronunciation and prosody evaluation systems using contrastive learning and acoustic feature analysis, aiming to visualize and quantify the L1-L2 prosodic gap. His long-term goal is to integrate experimental phonetics and machine learning to build interpretable speech feedback systems that bridge theoretical phonology and practical language education.

Geunho Lim
Research interest: phonetics, phonology, language acquisition, speech disorders
Email: imguenho@hanyang.ac.kr
Geunho Lim is an undergraduate student majoring in English Language and Literature at Hanyang University. After completing his sophomore year, he joined the Hanyang Institute for Phonetics and Cognitive Sciences of Language (HIPCS) to further pursue his growing interest in linguistics, especially in experimental phonetics and phonology. Since then, he has actively participated in research training and laboratory experiments. His academic interests include phonetics, phonology, language acquisition, and speech disorders. He is particularly interested in the production errors of Korean L2 learners when pronouncing the English lateral /l/, and in how tongue dorsum movement interacts with consonant-vowel articulation. He plans to pursue graduate studies and conduct research on prosody-based semantic ambiguity in speech, aiming to develop AI-based speech recognition systems that use acoustic cues for improved language understanding.
