About
- My name is Yimei Xiang (向伊梅), pronounced as [i: mɛɪ, ɕiɑŋ].
- I’m an Assistant Professor at Rutgers Linguistics, specialized in formal semantics, syntax-semantics interface, and Chinese & East Asian linguistics. I study how meanings are drawn from complex structures, and how the underlying logical system is represented in human languages.
- I completed PhD in Linguistics at Harvard Univ. in 2016, and BA in Chinese at Peking Univ. in 2010.
- My current research program focuses on the following topics:
- questions with complex structures and questions in embeddings;
- higher-order readings of questions;
- polarity items and free choice items;
- multi-functional words in East Asian languages.
