Prof. Peggy Mok received her B.A. in Chinese with first honours from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and her M.Phil. and Ph.D. in Linguistics from the University of Cambridge. Her research interests lie in phonetics, especially with cross-linguistic and psycholinguistic perspectives. She is interested in both speech production and perception. Speech acquisition in various contexts forms a prominent focus of her research in recent years.
Basically, experimental phonetics! I am interested in both speech production and perception, particularly with cross-linguistic and psycholinguistic perspectives. I investigate both segmental and prosodic properties of speech, but focusing more on prosodic aspects (especially lexical tone) in recent years. Speech acquisition in different contexts is an important theme in my research. Additionally, I am interested in forensic phonetics, and the bilingual mental lexicon. You can see my publications and research projects I supervise for a general idea of my research interests.
