Chien-Jer Charles Lin studies the psychology of language, focusing on how people—especially speakers of Mandarin Chinese—understand and produce sentences. His work examines topics such as how readers process complex grammatical structures (like relative clauses), how word and sound frequency affects language use, and how being bilingual influences judgments about what counts as an acceptable sentence.
