Short Bio
Huichen S. HSIAO received her Ph.D. in Linguistics from State University of New York at Buffalo. Her major research focuses on how different linguistic meanings (words or constructions) are mediated, operated, and interacted while learning, acquiring or using a L1/L2 language, drawing on empirical data from learners as well as behavioral data (e.g. from L1 or interlanguage corpora). She teaches graduate courses, including Chinese Semantics, Pedagogical Chinese Grammar, and Teaching Material Designs for TCSL. Her current projects include polysemy-related issues, the linguistic encoding of motion events, and the syntax-semantics interface. In addition, she is interested in metaphor, the construction-relevant issues and L2 vocabulary learning strategies. Overall, Professor Hsiao’s work aims to explore the intricacy of language (& its application) and ultimately help L2 learners establish their own strategies for language learning efficiently.
