Lise Menn earned the Ph.D., Linguistics,1976, University
of Illinois/Urbana. After research appointments in the MIT
Speech Communication Group, the Stanford Child Phonology Project,
and the Aphasia Research Center, Boston U. School of Medicine,
she began teaching linguistics at the University of Colorado,
Boulder, where she was department chair for seven years. She
has also held visiting research appointments in neurolinguistics,
linguistics, and cognitive science in Japan, and at UCLA,
the University of Arizona, and the University of Hawaii. She
was an associate director of the 1995 Linguistic Society of
America Linguistic Institute at the University of New Mexico,
where she taught neurolinguistics and language acquisition.
She has been a member of the NSF Linguistics Panel, and of
the Communication Disorders Review Group, NIDCD, NIH, and
is a member of the Board of Governors of the Academy of Aphasia
and the editorial boards of Aphasiology and of Written Language
and Literacy. Her co-edited books include Exceptional Language
and Linguistics (1982) and the three-volume Agrammatic Aphasia:
A Cross-Language Narrative Sourcebook (1990), both with Loraine
K. Obler; Phonological Development: Models, Research, Implications,
edited by C. A. Ferguson, L. Menn, and C. Stoel-Gammon (1992);
and Methods of Studying Language Production (2000), with Nan
Bernstein Ratner. She is the author or co-author of many journal
articles, textbook chapters, and handbook and encyclopedia
articles on aphasia, language acquisition, and psycholinguistics,
and co-author of Non-fluent Aphasia in a Multi-lingual World
(1995). With Japanese and American colleagues, she has been
working on using psycholinguistic and computational modeling
of functional syntax to understand aphasic syntactic deficits.
In collaboration with members of the University of Colorado
computer science department, she has also worked on a connectionist
implementation of her theoretical work on modeling children's
acquisition of the sound patterns of their native language;
and is currently involved in a project to study the acquisition
and on-line use of morphological rules.
