Tzu-yun Tung

Tzu-Yun earned her PhD in linguistics from the University of Michigan in 2023. Her main interests lie in sentence processing, cognitive neuroscience, computational modeling and language acquisition. Her recent work tries to understand language processing mechanisms and sources of processing difficulty by establishing the neural and behavioral correlates of online sentence parsing, and simulating the process with large language models (LLMs) as well as computational cognitive models. She also investigated the acquisition of phonology, syntax, and reading development in L1 and L2 speakers. To this end, she employed behavioral tasks, EEG experiments, computational modeling and corpus analysis.
