Adele Goldberg (linguist)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Adele Eva Goldberg (born November 9, 1963) is a researcher in the field of linguistics. Since 2004, she has been a Professor in Linguistics, and an associated faculty in Psychology at Princeton University. From 1997-2004, she was an Associate Professor of Linguistics and the Beckman Institute at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). She was also, from 1997 to 1998, Associate Professor of Linguistics at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD).
Goldberg's research focus is on the psychology of language, including theoretical and experimental aspects of grammar and its representation, acquisition of form-function correspondences, and syntactic priming. Her works aim to illuminate parallels between language and other cognitive processes. She is one of the leading researchers in the framework of Construction Grammar, an alternative to mainstream generative grammar, that takes form-function correspondences to be the basic units of language.
