• W4313198497 abstract "Lila R. Gleitman John A. Goldsmith and Susan Goldin-Meadow Lila R. Gleitman, president of the Linguistic Society of America (LSA) in 1993, passed away on August 8, 2021, at the end of an inspired and inspiring life in which she mentored generations of students of linguistics and psychology and left an indelible mark on how we think about the acquisition of language. She began her academic career at Swarthmore College in 1969 and spent many years at the University of Pennsylvania, first in the School of Education as the William T. Carter Professor of Education, beginning in 1972, and later in the Department of Psychology as the Steven and Marcia Roth Professor of Psychology, with an additional appointment in Linguistics. She retired from Penn in 2001, but maintained a high level of engagement in research both at Penn and as a member of the Center for Cognitive Science at Rutgers University.1 Her career was capped by professional recognition of every sort. She was a fellow of both AAASs (the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences) and of the National Academy of Sciences, as well as of the Linguistic Society of America and the American Psychological Association, the Association for Psychological Science, and the Society of Experimental Psychologists. Lila was born Leila Ruth Lichtenberg on December 10, 1929 (she later chose to give up the ‘e’ in ‘Leila’ because it was too hard to spell), and grew up in Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn, NY. She attended James Madison High School, a local public high school that was also home to United States Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. To know Lila was to know that she was from Brooklyn. It was hard to miss: her cadence, her vowels, and her almost-too-fast-to-be-human wit. To those who encountered her professionally, her deep intellectual engagement was manifest, and to those who h ad the chance to know her personally, her warmth and human caring for those around her was legendary. Anyone who read her papers could appreciate her dry wit. When she described a new experimental method that she ran on college sophomores, she wrote, ‘While we would not want to exaggerate the conceptual sophistication of these subjects … ’.2 She was of a generation in which women were not encouraged to enter the professions. She graduated from Antioch College in 1952 and moved back to New York, where her first job was as a Gal Friday for the Journal of the American Water Works Association, after being editor of Antioch’s college magazine, Idiom. The times were such that neither she nor her associate editor at Idiom—who was subordinate to her at Idiom but had the advantage of being a male—found it odd that she got the Gal Friday job and he got an assistant editor job at Doubleday Publishers. She and Eugene Galanter, a young psychologist at Penn who would be one of the early movers in cognitive psychology, were soon married and, as a faculty wife, she was free to study anything she wanted at Penn, so she signed up to study Classical Greek. This decision brought her to Henry Hoenigswald (president of the LSA in 1958). Hoenigswald took her aside and told her that he could see that what she really wanted to study was a field known as ‘linguistics’. [End Page 844] Acting on Hoenigswald’s advice, she went to meet Zellig Harris (president of the LSA in 1955) over in the Department of Linguistics. Harris encouraged her to join his group. There was nothing that he could recommend to her to read about linguistics, but he said that she should go to Florence once a year to gaze upon Michelangelo’s David. This began a period in which she worked closely with Harris, who was developing transformational grammar and computational applications of his theory. There were still close ties, both personal and professional, between Penn and MIT during this period, and Lila became friends and professional colleagues with Noam Chomsky, a bond that would last for six decades. Lila set out upon a path that began with the study of symmetric..." @default.
