Research Interests: Dr. Kim explores how Korean case-marking systems, particularly adverbial case, interact with syntax and semantics. Her work bridges theoretical linguistics with applied education, addressing challenges in teaching Korean as a second language and analyzing the socio-cultural implications of linguistic innovations like neologisms. She has published on topics such as gender representation in modern Korean vocabulary and case assignment in syntactic structures.
Publications: Her recent work includes a 2017 peer-reviewed article on gender dynamics in Korean neologisms and a translation of the literary work Jaepo. Earlier research includes foundational studies on Korean adverbial case systems and second language acquisition theories in ESOL contexts.
