Welcoming our new PhD student, Sara Ok

We are excited to welcome a new PhD student to the lab, Sara Ok. Sara completed her bachelor’s degree in English and master’s degree in linguistics from Konkuk University in South Korea. Her master’s thesis, directed by Prof. Upyong Hong, examined how L1 and L2 speakers of English process complex relative clauses in real time, using eye-tracking during reading. She has also worked on several other research projects in psycholinguistics using self-paced reading, EEG, and other measures. Here at Purdue, she plans to study syntactic alternations (e.g. comparative alternation) and predictive processing (e.g. case marking cues) in Korean.
