I’m Jane Li (she/her), a third year PhD student in the Cognitive Science Department at Johns Hopkins University working with Colin Wilson. I also work with Kyle Rawlins and Paul Smolensky. I’m interested in psycholinguistics, specifically questions at the intersection of morphology and language production.

Prior to joining Hopkins, I completed my B.A. in Linguistics at Simon Fraser University. I worked with John Alderete on speech errors and Cantonese psycholinguistics, and Henny Yeung on phonetic perception and production. It was fun!

When I’m not doing stuff related to linguistics, you'll find me cross-stitching or making modular origami.

Research Interests

(Click on the toggle next to the questions for more details!)

• How are allomorphs represented and retrieved in the language production system?
• How can we improve data collection/analysis techniques in language production research?
• Neural networks that learn morpho-phonological patterns: what types of computations are they performing, and how is it similar to human knowledge of morpho-phonology?

Current Projects

Representation/retrieval of the English plural regular allomorphs

As a starting point to the first research question above, my first project (≈first QP) looks at the processing efforts of the English regular plural allomorphs [z] (dogs), [s] (cats), and [əz] (leashes) during speech production.
