Maria Bittner

Maria Bittner is Professor Emerita in Linguistics at Rutgers University.[1]

She is a semanticist and logician whose work has focused on compositionality. She is best known for her work on tense marking and case and argument structure. She has long combined linguistic fieldwork with theoretical perspectives and was one of the pioneers of a line of work that bridges insights from Chomskyan Generative Grammar and typology. She is best known for her work on Kalaallisut.[2]

Bittner received her PhD from the University of Texas at Austin in 1988[3] and spent 30 years at Rutgers University before retiring in 2018.[4]
