Brigitte Pakendorf

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brigitte Pakendorf (born 1970)[1] is a South African linguist and geneticist at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS).[2]

Education

After receiving her MA in biological anthropology in 1996, Pakendorf studied for two doctorates: one in biology, one in linguistics. She received the former in 2001 from the University of Hamburg and the latter in 2007 from the University of Leiden.[3] This second thesis brought together her interests in dealing with contact in the prehistory of the Sakha, or Yakuts, from both linguistic and genetic perspectives. It received the 2008 prize for the best dissertation in linguistics defended at a Dutch university, awarded jointly by the Dutch Association for General Linguistics (AVT) and Association for Applied Linguistics (Anéla).[3][4]

Career and honours

From 2006 to 2012 Pakendorf was leader of a Max Planck Society junior research group on comparative population linguistics at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Jena. In 2012 she took up a position as senior researcher (DR2) at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) in the laboratory Dynamique du langage (Language dynamics). She was promoted to senior researcher first class (DR1) in 2016, and exceptional class (DRCE) in 2019.[2]

Pakendorf has received numerous honours and awards for her research. In 2016 she was awarded a CNRS Silver Medal.[5] In 2019 she was elected member of the Academia Europaea.

Research

Pakendorf's research is interdisciplinary, bridging biology, anthropology and linguistics. She has worked mainly on languages of Siberia, in particular Even, Negidal and other Tungusic languages, but also on languages of the Kalahari Basin such as the Kxʼa languages.[2][3] The topics that she has investigated include prehistory, language contact, linguistic typology, areal linguistics, molecular anthropology, and language documentation.[2] She has received major grants from the German Research Foundation, Endangered Languages Documentation Programme, Leakey Foundation, Volkswagen Foundation and Wenner-Gren Foundation to investigate and document the languages and history of the groups mentioned above.[3][6][7]
