Hi there! My name is Rong HE (贺荣).
I am a Ph.D. student in Linguistics at Tsinghua University, supervised by Prof. Mingming Liu.
Since Sep. 2026, I have been a guest researcher at Leiden University, hosted by Prof. Lisa Cheng.
My research primarily focuses on semantics and its interfaces with pragmatics and syntax from a cross-linguistic perspective. My work covers topics including questions, discourse organization, (un)conditionals, and (in)definites.
Here is my latest CV.
Shifting at-issueness without shifting commitment.
2026.09.21–22. Poster at At-Issueness and Commitment: Interfaces and Interactions, Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany.
