Ziqian Du
Research interest: Phonetics, Phonology, Psycholinguistics
Email: ziqiandu@163.com
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.

Sungwok Hwang
Research interest: Phonetics, Phonology, Psycholinguistics
Email: sungwplhwang@gmail.com
Sungwok is a graduate student majoring in English linguistics at Hanyang University. From the courses provided by the department, he could have an opportunity to explore various aspects of human language, which made him impressed by realizing how sophisticated linguistic principles were. Especially, how the human mind produces and perceives speech sounds fascinated him. Even a small glimpse of this was enough to make him want to learn more. He hopes to get closer to the Truth thanks to the experience and learning from the laboratory.
