Yuqi's Peer Reviewed Article

Upper 6 student Yuqi has had an academic paper peer reviewed and accepted for publication in a science journal following a research collaboration she participated in during last summer. 

The article looks in to 'The Mutual Intelligibility in Phonological and Lexical Aspects Between Shanghainese and Cantonese'. Yuqi, along with three other authors, "determined the mutual intelligibility between Shanghainese and Cantonese by isolated word tests (Subjective measure) with the recording of two native speakers in the age range of 31-50. In addition, we assessed the linguistic background of the listeners with questionnaires who are also the test takers. We then examine the dialect words in the recording with objective measures (lexical similarity, phonological correspondence) to understand our conclusion drawn from our results as the mutual intelligibility is low and the intelligibility is asymmetrical".

Producing an academic paper to this standard is a huge achievement, as the first and corresponding author for this research Yuqi, everyone at QAS is extremley proud.
