Research
Fanghua is interested in the functional sequence in Mandarin Chinese noun phrases, especially the long-standing debate on DP/NP distinction cross-linguistically. She sets out to argue for a DP analysis for Mandarin noun phrases by looking at three major phenomena, including the syntax of plural morpheme -men, the reduplication of classifiers, and null subjects. Some of her side interests include Mandarin gei-VP construction and passives, Finnish morphological passives.
