Maria Bittner
Maria Bittner is Professor Emerita in Linguistics at Rutgers University.[1]
She is a fieldworker, semanticist, and logician whose work has focused on tense and cross-linguistic typology. She is best known for her descriptive and theoretical work on the Greenlandic language Kalaallisut,[2] for which she has done some text documentation.[3] She has long combined linguistic fieldwork, and to analyze her data she developed a compositional dynamic update logic, building on DRT and Centering Theory, but with a novel architecture.[4] She has also worked on the phenomena of case,[5] questions,[6] and causatives.[7]
Bittner received her PhD from the University of Texas at Austin in 1988[8] and spent 30 years at Rutgers University before retiring in 2018.[9]
