Eunkyung Yi is an Associate Professor in the Department of English Education at Ewha Womans University, Seoul, South Korea. She received her Ph.D. in Linguistics from the State University of New York at Buffalo, where her dissertation examined the cognitive underpinnings of how verb meaning influences syntactic structure selection during sentence production. Her research centers on language production, with a particular focus on how lexical and grammatical information — including verb semantics, argument structure, and case marking — shapes the planning and encoding of utterances. She also investigates sentence and discourse comprehension, discourse expectation, bilingual language processing, and crosslinguistic differences between English and Korean. She has published in major international and domestic journals including Cognitive Linguistics and Language and Cognition, and has presented her work at leading conferences including the Annual Conference on Human Sentence Processing.
