Jianxun Liu received his Ph.D. in linguistics from the University of Victoria Canada in 2019. Liu’s primary research areas are generative syntactic theory, the semantics/syntax interface, and the syntax of Chinese. Liu’s research particularly focuses on the two generative theories, Minimalist Program and Distributed Morphology, and their application in the study of Mandarin Chinese. Liu was awarded a doctoral fellowship by the Social and Humanities Research Council of Canada in 2016.
