Seulkee Park

I am a Lecturer at Kyung Hee University (English Linguistics and Literature) and Kookmin University (General Education) in Seoul. My primary research areas focus on discourse syntax and corpus linguistics in English. My ongoing research lies within the domains of diverse elliptical constructions in English, including but not limited to stripping, nominal ellipsis, and fragmental structures like sluicing, based on a discourse information analysis.
