Zhuosi Luo

I am an Assistant Professor and Researcher (专职研究员) at the National Research Centre for Foreign Language Education (中国外语与教育研究中心) & National Research Centre for State Language Capacity (国家语言能力发展研究中心) at Beijing Foreign Studies University (北京外国语大学). [If you're not familiar with Chinese universities, you can think of these research centers as being similar to ZAS in Germany. ] Here is my Chinese website.

I work on both syntax and semantics. My research specifically focuses on the interface between different modules of grammar, with particular attention to the syntax–semantics interface and the division of labor between these two. I am also interested in the roles that morphology, pragmatics, and/or phonology can play in a comprehensive analysis of linguistic phenomena. Drawing on my background in cognitive science, I also seek to explore how formal linguistic explanations can be integrated into a broader cognitive science framework, rather than remaining discipline-centered and isolated. For more details, see Research.

I received my Ph.D. in Theoretical Linguistics and Cognitive Science from Georgetown University, U.S. in 2024, where my Theoretical Linguistics advisors are Paul Portner & Ruth Kramer, and my Cognitive Science advisors are David Lightfoot [before retirement in 2021] & Elissa Newport & Bryce Huebner. I did my M.A. in Foreign Linguistics & Applied Linguistics (2016-2019) and B.A. in Translation (2012-2016) at China Foreign Affairs University (外交学院).
