American linguist
Marianne Mithun is an American linguist specializing in American Indian languages and language typology . She is a professor of linguistics at the University of California, Santa Barbara , where she has held an academic position since 1986.
Career
[ edit ]
She began her career with extensive fieldwork on Iroquoian languages , especially Mohawk , Cayuga , and Tuscarora , earning her PhD in Linguistics from Yale in 1974 with a dissertation entitled "A Grammar of Tuscarora" (Floyd Lounsbury , dissertation supervisor).[1] Her work spans a number of linguistic subfields, including morphology , syntax , discourse , prosody , language contact and change , typology, language documentation , and the interrelations among these subfields.[2] [3] She has worked on a wide variety of languages from a wide variety of language families, but specializes in Native American languages . Besides Iroquoian languages, she has also worked in California on Central Pomo and the Chumashan languages , on Central Alaskan Yup'ik , and on the Austronesian language Kapampangan .
Mithun compiled a comprehensive overview of Native American languages in The Languages of Native North America. [4] A review on the Linguist List describes the work as "an excellent book to have as a reference" and as containing "an incredible amount of information and illustrative data." The work is a bipartite reference organized firstly by grammatical categories (including categories that are particularly widespread in North America, such as polysynthesis ), and secondly by family.[5]
Mithun and her husband, linguist Wallace Chafe , established and directed The Wallace Chafe and Marianne Mithun Fund for Research on Understudied Languages.[6] The fund provides support for graduate students to cover expenses associated with language documentation projects for understudied languages.
Awards and honors
[ edit ]
Mithun was the founding president of the Society for Linguistic Anthropology from 1983 to 1985.[7] From 1999 to 2003 she was president of the Association for Linguistic Typology .[8] From 2014 to 2015 she was president of The Societas Linguistica Europaea .[9] She is a member of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters .[10]
In 2002 The Languages of Native North America won the Leonard Bloomfield Book Award , awarded annually by the Linguistic Society of America for the best book in linguistics.[11] In 2008, Mithun was inducted as a Fellow of the Linguistic Society of America .[12] In 2019, Mithun served as the vice president/president-elect of the Linguistic Society of America (LSA),[13] and in 2020 she served as the 95th President of the LSA .[14]
In 2021, she was awarded the Neil and Saras Smith Medal for Linguistics by the British Academy "for her research into Native American and Austronesian languages which represent a significant contribution to theoretical linguistics".[15]
Mithun has taught at many institutions around the world, including Georgetown , La Trobe , Rice , Stanford , SUNY Albany , Amsterdam , Cagliari , Berkeley , Hamburg , UIUC , UNM , Wake Forest , and Yale .[16]
