Caihong Weng

Hi! I am a Dual PhD candidate in Linguistics at Université Paris Cité (Laboratoire de Linguistique Formelle, LLF) and University of Groningen (Speech Lab Groningen),
under the supervision of Prof. Ioana Chitoran, Dr. Alexander Martin, and Prof. Martijn Wieling.

Since September 2026, I am also ATER at Université Sorbonne Nouvelle and a member of the Laboratoire de Phonétique et Phonologie (LPP).

My PhD research investigates the link between perception and production in bilingual speech, with a focus on how phonological contrasts are maintained, merged, or accommodated among bilingual speakers of Mandarin and Quanzhou Southern Min (泉州闽南话). I conduct behavioral experiments in both perception and production.
