/by amelia boehYue Chen is a fourth-year Linguistics and Psychology major and Comparative Literature minor with an interest in language acquisition and speech perception. Her thesis focuses on naturalistic observation of how 2-year-old children acquire reflective pronouns through an environmental input perspective and argues that reflective pronouns are not purely syntactical; they are also context-dependent and influenced by pragmatics. After graduation, she intends to pursue a graduate degree in the field of linguistics with the aim of distinguishing what is innate and what is learnable in terms of language acquisition.
