Jackie Yan-Ki Lai

Assistant Professor
Department of Linguistics and Translation
City University of Hong Kong

I obtained my PhD degree in linguistics from The University of Chicago, my MPhil degree in linguistics from The Chinese University of Hong Kong and my BA degree in linguistics from The University of Hong Kong. My research interests lie in syntax, morphology, and the syntax─semantics interface, and my work draws data primarily from Chinese languages. I work within minimalism and Distributed Morphology.

Cantonese is my native language.
