Short Biography:
Youngah Do is a phonologist who specializes in the study of the learning and learnability of sound systems in languages. Her research explores aspects of phonological learning using three approaches: formal analysis, experimentation, and computational modeling that incorporates elements of linguistic theory. Specifically, her research focuses on cognitive biases in phonological acquisition, the mechanisms of sound unit combination in learning, the interactions between morphology and phonology, and the influence of iconic resources on the sound systems of languages.
