Congrats to Humanities Scholars Award recipient Michael Fang

Congratulations to Jiangnan (Michael) Fang, who was awarded an Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) Humanities Scholars Award to work on research in Summer 2019! Below is a brief description of the project he will be working on:

• Jiangnan (Michael) Fang: “De-linking between words in conversational English by native speakers of Mandarin”

Michael will be working on a sociophonetic research project examining features of English spoken by Asian Americans, across a range of ethnicities and life histories in the U.S. In Summer 2019, Michael will analyze speech recordings from interviews with Chinese Americans who learned English as a second language, with a focus on their production of connected speech phenomena such as resyllabification.
