I am Phuong Dang, a PhD student in Linguistics at the Ohio State University. 

I earned my BA in English Linguistics and Literature in 2006 and MA in TESOL in 2012 from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. I received the Fulbright scholarship and achieved my second MA in General Linguistics from California State University, Fresno in 2013. 

My current research focuses on linguistic phonetics, phonology and morphology. I work on prosody with specific topics related to rhythmic patterning of Vietnamese multisyllabic words and structuring of Vietnamese prosodic hierarchy. Additionally, I study on the role of generalized knowledge and item-specific knowledge in constituent ordering preferences. My research projects have a special focus on Vietnamese reduplication and compounding. Another research interest of mine has been second language acquisition and language teaching.
