Susan Strauss, (Ph.D. Applied Linguistics, UCLA). Associate Professor of Applied Linguistics at Penn State. Her research focuses on discourse, interaction, conceptualization, and grammar in Korean, Japanese, American English, and other languages (including Chinese and Persian). Her central research focus for CALPER is on conceptualization-based approaches to Korean grammar, having investigated such issues as tense/aspect, definiteness, evidentiality, honorifics, and motion events; she is also working on a comprehensive grammar of English based on discourse and conceptualization. Strauss' articles on Korean discourse appear in Journal of Pragmatics, Linguistics, Language Sciences, and Modern Language Journal. She has also served as co-editor of three volumes of Japanese/Korean Linguistics,, published through CSLI, Stanford. She is currently researching the discursive construction of agency and victimization in bullying narratives in Japanese, Korean, and American English.
