Pitt’s Boo Kyung Jung received a grant from the Academy of Korean Studies

Boo Kyung Jung, a faculty member in the Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences, has received a $21,000 grant from the Academy of Korean Studies in South Korea.

She will use the grant to examine how heritage Korean language users understand subject-predicate honorification. To find pedagogical suggestions, Jung will explore this through behavior experiments, including reaction time and eye-tracking, and input analysis.
