My current research centers on relative clauses, reduplicative classifiers, and the internal structure of nominal arguments in Mandarin and Cantonese. Additionally, I explore both theoretical and practical issues in Second Language Acquisition. I study the role of Universal Grammar in the acquisition of syntax and Sociocultural Approaches to learning and development. On the practical front, I am interested in pedagogical grammar, vocabulary teaching, and computerized dynamic assessment.
