Introduction
Hello!
This is Inkie Chung, Assistant Professor of Linguistics in
the Department of
English, Central
Connecticut State University located in
New Britain,
Connecticut. I
received my
Ph.D. in Linguistics in
the Department
of Linguistics at the
University of Connecticut. I have been indebted to so many individuals
and organizations during my study at UConn and my teaching career at CCSU and throughout my life, and
would like to thank each and everyone of them (whose names I don't remember
in many cases). At CCSU, I teach courses like Introduction to Linguistics,
Phonology, Language Acquisition (First and Second), Typology and Universals,
etc. My research interests are morphology, phonology and related
areas like historical linguistics, acquisition of phonology and morphology
(first and second language), and hopefully sign language phonology (?!) in the future. I am
an active member of the
Storrs Korean Church
at UConn,
United Church of Christ.
