Anne C. Lobeck is an American linguist who specializes in syntactic theory and applied linguistics, with focus on linguistics and education. She is currently Professor of Linguistics at Western Washington University.[1]

Career

Lobeck obtained a B.A. in French from Whitman College in 1983 and an M.A. in linguistics from the University of Washington in 1979. She received her Ph.D. in linguistics from the same institution in 1986 with a dissertation entitled "Syntactic Constraints on VP Ellipsis". Her subsequent work on ellipsis in natural languages has contributed to the understanding of the phenomena in English, French, and German.

In 2006, Lobeck and Kristin Denham were the recipients of an NSF grant for their project "The Western Washington University Teaching Partnership Project: Improving Teacher Education through Partner Teaching".[2] This project led to the publication of "Linguistics at School: Language Awareness in Primary and Secondary Education" (co-edited with Denham) in 2010, a collection that emphasizes the importance of collaboration between linguists and educators to raise awareness of the workings of language.[3]

In 2021, Lobeck was inducted as a Fellow of the Linguistic Society of America.[4]
