Biography
[edit]During her teenage years, Macaulay attended high school in Santiago, Chile, where she learned Spanish. After graduating high school and traveling South America, she moved to Prescott, Arizona. She relocated shortly after to northern California and pursued art school before enrolling at UC Berkeley.[3]
Macaulay received her PhD in 1987 for her research on morphology and cliticization in Chalcatongo Mixtec at the University of California, Berkeley.[4][5]
She has worked on documenting various Indigenous languages of North America, especially Menominee and Potawatomi. She has published a number of linguistic studies on, especially, the syntax and semantics of the Mixtec, Karuk and Algonquian languages.[6] She has also written a grammar of Chalcatongo Mixtec (Macaulay 1996). From 2006 to 2010, she led an NSF grant which aimed to write three dictionaries for Menominee.[7][8] The grant resulted in works including Macaulay (2009, 2012).
She has written a survival skills manual for graduate students in linguistics (Macaulay 2011).[clarification needed]
Macaulay is married to linguist Joe Salmons.[9]
