French linguist From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anne Abeillé (born 13 September 1962 in Paris) is a French linguist specialising in French grammar and syntactic theory, in particular constraint-based grammar, as well as natural language processing. She led the creation of the French Treebank, the first syntactically-annotated corpus of French.[1][2][3]
From 1983 to 1987, Abeillé studied at the École normale supérieure de Fontenay-Saint-Cloud, where she graduated in modern literature.[2] She subsequently worked with Aravind Joshi as a research assistant at the University of Pennsylvania, where she contributed to the development of Lexicalized Tree-Adjoining Grammar (LTAG).[2] In 1991 she received her PhD supervised by Maurice Gross as well as her habilitation at University of Paris 7.[4] She then taught at Paris 8 University Vincennes-Saint-Denis and Paris Diderot University before becoming full professor at the latter in 2000, as well as member of the Formal Linguistics Laboratory of the French National Centre for Scientific Research, which she has headed since 2011.[2]
Abeillé is an honorary member of the Institut Universitaire de France, where she was a junior member from 1996 to 2001 and then a senior member from 2012 to 2017.[2] She was awarded a bronze and a silver medal by the French National Centre for Scientific Research in 1995 and 2007 respectively.[1] In 2008 she was elected as an ordinary member of the Academia Europaea.[5] 2008 also saw her knighted as a member of the Legion of Honour, of which she became an officer in 2015.[1]
