EspañolLYLE CAMPBELL
'Lyle Campbell' is a linguist who is considered to be one of the foremost experts on Native American languages, especially the Mayan and Uto-Aztecan language families, as well as in historical linguistics. In addition to his expertise in Mesoamerican languages, he is also an expert on Finno-Ugric languages. He is presently Professor of Linguistics at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, and the director of the University's Center for American Indian Languages (CAIL).
Raised in Oregon, Campbell received his B.A. in Archaeology and Anthropology in 1966 from Brigham Young University (BYU), his M.A. in Linguistics from the University of Washington in 1967, and his Ph.D. in Linguistics from UCLA in 1971.
Campbell taught at the University of Missouri (1971-1974), the State University of New York at Albany (1974-1989),
Louisiana State University (1989-1994), and the University of Canterbury, in Christchurch, New Zealand (1994-2004).
Among the topics on which Campbell is an expert is the history of historical linguistics and its methodology. He is a prominent critic of extreme claims of genetic affiliation of languages such as those of Merritt Ruhlen and Joseph Greenberg.
He is the author of numerous books, two of which (''American Indian languages: The historical linguistics of Native America'' and ''Historical Syntax in Cross-Linguistic Perspectives'', co-written with Alice C. Harris) were awarded the Leonard Bloomfield Book Award by the Linguistic Society of America for the best book in linguistics published in the previous two years.
Throughout his career, Campbell has cultivated a special interest in the preservation of indigenous languages and specifically in encouraging scholarship and research into the endangered languages and cultures of Native America.
