Laura Michaelis

Laura A. Michaelis (born in Fort Eustis, Virginia) is an associate professor in the department of Linguistics and a faculty fellow in the Institute of Cognitive Science at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Her research centers on the discourse-syntax interface in conversational English and the semantic interaction between words and grammatical constructions, with particular emphasis on the linguistic encoding of tense and aspect. She has published or co-edited several books, including "Aspectual Grammar and Past-Time Reference" (1998) and "Mismatch: Form Function Override and the Architecture of Grammar" (2004), a collected volume of papers co-edited with Elaine J. Francis. Her work has appeared in the journals "Language", "Linguistics and Philosophy", "The Journal of Semantics" and "The Journal of Pragmatics". Her current research concerns the grammar of English noun phrases, verbal argument structure (Goldberg 1995, 2006) and nonstandard syntactic amalgams in conversational speech. Along with Charles J. Fillmore, Paul Kay and Ivan Sag, she is currently at work on a book about the formal foundations of Construction Grammar.

She received her BA, MA and PhD in linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley, writing her thesis under the direction of Charles J. Fillmore.
