Julie Anne Legate

Julie Anne Legate is Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Pennsylvania.[1] She works in the areas of syntax and morphology. Her work investigates the structural representation of voice in syntax, beginning with a focus on Acehnese, a language spoken in Indonesia, but also including evidence from structures in Celtic, Scandinavian, and Slavic, broadening current cross-linguistic understanding of passive-like constructions.[2]

Legate earned her B.A. from York University in 1995 and her M.A. from the University of Toronto (1997). She received her PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2002, writing a dissertation on the Warlpiri language, under the supervision of Noam Chomsky and Sabine Iatridou.[3][4]

Since 2015 Legate has been the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Natural Language and Linguistic Theory.[5][6]
