I know more than the average person about bell-ringing and stained glass.

My name is Kitty Liu or 刘文樱 liú wényīng. My pronouns are she/any. I grew up in Beijing (China) and Cambridge (UK). Outside of linguistics, I enjoy literature, crafts, spirited conversation, and hot drinks. I am also a semi-professional choral singer.

My working langauges are English and Mandarin Chinese. I can also try to talk to you in Swedish.

Because I have a very common surname, I use both of my given names when I publish. Here are my names in my accents – Kitty Liu [ˈkʰɪ.tiˑ lʲʉː] ; 刘文樱 liú wényīng [li̯ɤ͡ʊ̯˧˥ vən˧˥ jɪŋ˥] – although you are welcome to use any that you wish.
