(Redirected from LaVerne Masayesva Jeanne)
LaVerne Masayesva Jeanne is an anthropologist and linguist at the University of Nevada at Reno, where she is an emerita associate professor.[1]
She received her PhD at MIT, where she studied with linguist Ken Hale. Together with Navajo Paul R. Platero, Jeanne is one of the first two Native Americans to have received a degree in linguistics.
Her work has been primarily focused on the Hopi language (her mother language). Her 1978 thesis (supervised by Hale) was entitled Aspects of Hopi Grammar.[2] She also co-authored a heavily cited article in Language with Hale, Michael Krauss, Collette Craig, and others on the state of endangered languages.
