Lee’s research explores the pragmatic dimensions of Korean language use, including politeness, speech acts, and referential choices. Her work spans both native and second-language speakers, with a particular emphasis on socio-pragmatic competence in Korean as a foreign language. Recent studies analyze digital discourse in YouTube comment sections, highlighting impoliteness and toxic communication patterns.
Her publications include analyses of subject expression/omission in spoken Korean, kinship terms, and cross-cultural comparisons with Japanese and Chinese. She is available for supervision and leads projects such as 'The perception and realisation of (im)politeness in Korean' and 'Person referencing in discourse as an interpersonal strategy.'
Lee has received funding from the Academy of Korean Studies (2022-2023) for politeness research. She actively presents at international conferences, including the International Pragmatics Conference and Japanese/Korean Linguistics Conference, focusing on topics like apology strategies and hybrid word interpretation.
