About me

My name is Siming LIU (柳思铭[ljow˨˩.s̩˥.mjɤŋ˧˥]), a second-year master student in the Department of Linguistics at Beijing Language and Culture University.

My research interest lies in syntax and syntax-phonology interface. In particular, I hope to work on A/A'-distinction, Linearization and relevant issues, with the aim of developing a unified theory of syntactic phrasal displacement.

Besides theoretical issues, I am also interested in understudied languages in China as well as around the world.

Mandarin Chinese VP-fronting involves A-movement

ICFL-11, Guangdong, China

November 2025

I argue that Mandarin Chinese VP-fronting involves A-movement due to its A-properties. This would indicate along with cross-linguistic evidence that A-movement is not restricted to nominals, delivering a more unified feautral view of movement.
