Adel Chaouch-Orozco

Assistant Professor, City University of Hong Kong

I’m a psycholinguist interested in how we represent and process meaning. My research centres on lexical-semantic representation and processing in monolinguals and bi-/multilinguals, with a particular focus on how meaning is stored and retrieved, and how semantic representations are shaped by culture, cognition, and emotion.

To study these questions, I combine psycholinguistic experiments with computational methods, such as word embeddings and large language models (LLMs) and network science. My broader research also examines second language acquisition and the development of tools for language proficiency assessment.
