}}Juliette Blevins is an American linguist whose work has contributed to the fields of phonology, phonetics, historical linguistics, and typology. She is currently Professor of Linguistics at the Graduate Center, CUNY, where she has been employed since 2010. She is the founder of the approach of Evolutionary phonology.[1] She is also the director of the Endangered Language Initiative,[2] co-director of the Endangered Language Alliance,[3] and a co-founder of the Yurok Language Project.[4]

Research

Blevins's research spans several sub-disciplines and features Austronesian, Australian Aboriginal, Native American, and Andamanese languages. In 2001, Blevins published a sketch grammar of Nhanda, based on her work with the last remaining speakers.

Her approach of Evolutionary phonology seeks to explain the cross-linguistic similarity of sound patterns by examining the regular processes of sound change. This approach argues that many common sound patterns in contemporary phonologies are not necessarily reflections of underlying universal properties of languages, but rather the result of sound changes that are guided by the common tendencies of language transmission.[1]

Career

Blevins received her PhD in Linguistics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1985.[3]

She worked as the Senior Research Scientist at the Department of Linguistics at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig from 2004-2010. She has also worked as a professor at University of California, Berkeley, University of Luton, University of Western Australia, and University of Texas at Austin.[5]

Blevins is the author of more than 100 publications.[5]
