Biography
Dr Christina Kim joined ELL in October 2013. She received her PhD-degree in Brain & Cognitive Sciences and Linguistics from the University of Rochester in 2012, where she investigated the interpretation and generation of focus alternatives in discourse using Visual World eye-tracking. As a postdoctoral researcher, she worked in the Linguistics Department at the University of Chicago, and extended her PhD research to the domain of context dependence in gradable adjectives. Christina is interested in how language interpretation and use is situated in context. She approaches these questions from a processing perspective, drawing on methodologies from experimental psychology and cognitive science. Christina is Director of the newly established Linguistics Laboratory at ELL.
