Jingying Xu

Hello! I’m a PhD candidate in the Linguistics Program of Michigan State University (MSU). My research focuses on syntax, semantics and first language acquisition of the two areas. I use experimental and computational approaches to study how children acquire their first language. My advisor is Cristina Schmitt.

I’m part of the MSU Language Acquisition Lab, Semantics-Pragmatics Lab, and Minimalism, Learning and Computational Psycholinguistics Lab. I’m also doing the Interdepartmental Graduate Specialization in Cognitive Science, with a focus on NLP.

You can find a current copy of my CV here.

Outside of linguistics, I enjoy handcrafting, playing the piano, and exploring fashion and design.
