Andrew Garrett is Associate Professor of Linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley. His main research interests lie in historical linguistics, including both the methodology of reconstruction and the mechanisms and principles of linguistic change (in phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics); he works on Yurok, an endangered language of northwestern California, and on some of the older Indo-European languages. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1990. Representative publications include “Markedness and Universals in the Evolution of Paradigm Leveling,” to appear in Explaining Linguistic Universals: Historical Convergence and Universal Grammar; (with Juliette Blevins) “The Evolution of Metathesis,” in Phonetically-Driven Phonology (Cambridge University Press); and “Reduplication and Infixation in Yurok: Morphology, Semantics, and Diachrony,” in International Journal of American Linguistics.
