Isabelle Bril is a Senior Researcher (Directrice de Recherche) at the CNRS laboratory, LACITO (Laboratoire des Langues et Civilisations à Tradition Orale) in Paris-Villejuif. Since January 2014, she has served as Director of the CNRS 'Fédération Typologie et Universaux des Langues,' having previously been its Deputy Director from 2012-2013. Her academic career spans multiple prestigious positions within the French research system, including membership on the National Evaluation Committee for Linguistics. Dr. Bril's research focuses on Austronesian languages, with particular expertise in languages of New Caledonia (Nêlêmwa, Zuanga) and Formosan languages (Amis). Her work encompasses morphosyntax, coordination and subordination, complex predicates, valency alignments, and number marking systems. Her publication record demonstrates consistent contributions to linguistic typology, with significant works including a monograph on Nêlêmwa syntax and semantics, and edited volumes on complex predicates in Oceanic languages and cross-linguistic perspectives on coordination and subordination. Her research trajectory shows a clear progression from documentation of specific languages to broader typological investigations. Joint director of Axis 3 of the Labex project 'Langues austronésiennes: reconstruction et syntaxe' (2011) Ranked first in the highly competitive CNRS selection process for Senior Researchers (2006) President of the Joseph Greenberg Award jury (2011) Member of the editorial board for Studies in Diversity Linguistics (2013-present) Dr. Bril maintains an active presence in the international linguistics community through conference presentations, invited courses at institutions like the University of Leipzig and Manchester University, and leadership roles in the Association for Linguistic Typology. Her work bridges theoretical linguistics with detailed language documentation, making significant contributions to our understanding of linguistic diversity in the Austronesian language family.
