Wai-mun Leung received her doctorate degree in Linguistics from the University of Hong Kong and subsequently joined the Department of Chinese as a teaching fellow in January 2006. Her research interests primarily lie in the intersection of several fields of linguistics: historical linguistics, syntax and phonetics. She explored into various aspects of the sentence-final particles in Hong Kong Cantonese for her BA’s honour project, MPhil thesis and PhD dissertation. She has published papers on this and other linguistic areas. Recently her interests start to include the applications of language in the education sector.
Wai-mun’s teaching covers Modern Chinese language, Discourse analysis and Contrastive analysis of Putonghua and Cantonese and their applications. She is currently teaching Chinese Phonetics and Classroom Language use.
