Mary Dalrymple FBA (born 9 March 1954) is a British linguist who is professor of syntax at Oxford University. At Oxford, she is a fellow of Linacre College. Prior to that she was a lecturer in linguistics at King's College London, a senior member of the research staff at the Palo Alto Research Center (formerly the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center) in the Natural Language Theory and Technology group and a computer scientist at SRI International.
Early life and education
[edit]She received her PhD in linguistics from Stanford University in 1990. Her master's degree and bachelor's degree are from the University of Texas, Austin and Cornell College, respectively.
Career
[edit]Dalrymple has also been associated with CSLI (Center for the Study of Language and Information) as a researcher.[citation needed] Her research focus is on linguistics and computational linguistics and centers mainly on grammar development, syntax, semantics and the syntax-semantics interface. She has worked on a broad range of languages, including English, Hindi, Marathi, Malagasy and Indonesian. She is one of the prime architects of Glue Semantics[1] and works primarily within Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG), a linguistic theory for which she has written a textbook Lexical Functional Grammar[2] and to which she has contributed a theory of anaphoric binding.[3] Her most recent major work has dealt with the relationship between case marking, information structure (topic, focus) and semantics.[4]
Honors and awards
[edit]Dalrymple was inducted as a fellow of the British Academy in 2013.[5] She was elected as a member of the Academia Europaea in 2018.[6]
