Isabelle Bril is a senior researcher at the French National Centre for Scientific Research and a member of LACITO specializing in morphosyntax, semantics, typology, and Austronesian languages.[1][2]

Biography

Bril completed her agrégation in 1977, subsequently working as an English teacher between 1978 and 1993, then as Assistant Professor (Maître de Conférences) at Tours University between 1998 and 2001.[2][3] Her doctoral degree was awarded in 1995 by Paris Diderot University for a book-length treatment of utterance structure in the Austronesian language Nêlêmwa.[4] In 2005 she received her habilitation. She became a researcher at the French National Centre for Scientific Research in 2001, and was promoted to senior researcher first class in 2017.[3][4] In 2014, she was elected Directeur d'Etudes at Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes in Paris.[5]

In 2014, Bril was elected as a member of the Academia Europaea.[1] She served as President of the Greenberg award of the Association for Linguistic Typology in 2011 and 2015;[6] in 2022, she was Vice-President of the Linguistic Society of Paris[7] and is now its President for the year 2023.

Research

Bril’s research focuses on the description and analysis of Austronesian languages, including Nêlêmwa, Zuanga, and Amis, from synchronic, diachronic and typological perspectives. In order to achieve this, she has carried out extensive and original linguistic fieldwork on these underdescribed and endangered languages.[4]

The linguistic phenomena she has investigated include coordination and subordination, complex predicates, reciprocals, middles, symmetrical voice, valency, grammatical number, and possession.[2][1]
