Celebrating Women's History Month

Lila Gleitman

You might have heard about Noam Chomsky, one of the most influential linguists in modern linguistics. But working alongside him, revolutionizing the field, was Lila Geiltman, who explored children’s innate understanding of linguistic structure and its relationship with their further language development. During her career that spanned six decades, she was also admired as a devoted educator and inspired numerous young female researchers, many of whom later became renowned linguists themselves.
