Biography
During her teenage years, Macaulay attended high school in Santiago, Chile. It was here that she learned Spanish. After graduating high school and traveling South America she then moved to Prescott, AZ. She relocated shortly after to northern California and pursued art school before enrolling at UC Berkeley.[3]
Macaulay received her PhD in 1987 for her research on morphology and cliticization in Chalcatongo Mixtec at the University of California, Berkeley.[4][5]
She has worked on documenting various indigenous languages of North America, especially Menominee and Potawatomi. She has published a number of linguistic studies on, especially, the syntax and semantics of Mixtec, Karuk and Algonquian.[6] She has also written a grammar of Chalcatongo Mixtec (Macaulay 1996). From 2006 to 2010 she led an NSF grant which aimed to write three dictionaries for Menominee.[7][8] The grant resulted in works including Macaulay (2009, 2012).
She has written a survival skills manual for graduate students in linguistics (Macaulay 2011).
Macaulay is married to linguist Joe Salmons.[9]
Honors
In 2020, Macaulay was inducted as a Fellow of the Linguistic Society of America.[10]
Macaulay is currently the president of the Endangered Language Fund,[11] as well as the co-editor of the Papers of the Algonquian Conference.
Since 1996, she has been the project director for the Women in Linguistics Mentoring Alliance (WILMA), a project of the Linguistic Society of America.[12]
