Hi there! It’s Chenghao.

Luckily, I have been on the journey to a linguist(syntactician) since 2017.

After obtaining my Bachelor’s Degree (in Linguistics and Language Application) at The City University of Hong Kong and my Master’s Degree (in Linguistics) at University College London, I am currently working towards my Doctoral degree in Linguistics at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (supervisor: Prof. Victor Junnan Pan), starting in 2023. Also, I’m joint-supervised by Prof. Klaus Abels at UCL.

I am now part of Prof. Victor Pan’s Syntax Lab. Meet my lovely group members here.

Research

As years went by, I still found myself obsessed with Chinese syntax under the framework of generative grammar. Despite numerous topics I would like to touch upon, here are several of my current research interests.

• The status of complex Merges (e.g., Sideward Movement) in the modal of Syntax
• Labeling and Anti-labeling
• Nominal licensing mechanisms
• Syntax-Phonology interface
