Dr. Hanbo Yan currently works at Shanghai International Studies University. His main research interest is in experimental phonology, particularly in how native speakers’ tacit knowledge is reflected in their phonological behavior. Further interests include the phonetics-phonology interface and morphosyntax-phonology interface.
