Hopefully, I will share papers related to my research interests here. I have broad research experience in linguistics but some of them need to be carried out in collaboration in future! :)

How much did you pay for your oldest item of clothing? A £4 T-shirt can outperform a luxury £395 item, according to Leeds research. If you want clothes that last, or cherish second-hand bargains, find out how price doesn’t always reflect durability 👇

New research shows price is not a reliable guide to t-shirt durability
A new study led by the University of Leeds Institute of Textiles and Colour (LITAC) has found that the price of a t-shirt is no reliable guide to how well it will wear over time.

A mathematical formalization of Chomsky’s theory of Merge in generative linguistics.
The Minimalist Program advanced by Noam Chomsky thirty years ago, focusing on the biological nature of human language, has played a central role in our modern understanding of syntax. One key to this program is the notion that the hierarchical structure of human language syntax consists of a single operation Merge. For the first time, Mathematical Structure of Syntactic Merge presents a complete and precise
