Lise Menn, Professor Emerita, University of Colorado, has taught courses in linguistics, language development, psycholinguistics, and neurolinguistics at the University of Colorado, Boulder and other schools since 1977. She has carried out collaborative research on aphasia with colleagues in many countries and has presented lectures, workshops, and short courses on the practical value of thinking psycholinguistically about language learning and language disorders in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, China and Taiwan, Finland, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
She is co-author of Non-fluent Aphasia in a Multi-lingual World (Benjamins, 1995) and Shirley Says: Living with Aphasia (spot.colorado.edu/~menn/docs/Shirley4.pdf), and co-editor of Agrammatic Aphasia: A Cross-Language Narrative Sourcebook (Benjamins, 1990), Phonological Development: Models, Research, Implications (York Press, 1992), and Methods for Studying Language Production (Erlbaum, 2000). Dr. Menn has written or co-authored more than eighty journal articles and book chapters, in addition to encyclopedia articles and articles in conference proceedings, and has given more than a hundred conference presentations and invited lectures. Early in her career, she worked under the direction of founding figures in several fields, including Kenneth N. Stevens in phonetics, Jean Berko Gleason and Paula Menyuk in language development, and Harold Goodglass in aphasiology. Her own work has contributed fundamentally to the understanding of phonological development in children and aphasia in adults.
She has served on NSF and NIH review panels concerned with linguistics and language disorders, the Board of Governors of the Academy of Aphasia, and the editorial boards of the journals First Language, Aphasiology, Written Language and Literacy, Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics, and the Journal of Multilingual Communication Disorders. She has also been an Associate Editor of the journals Language and Aphasiology.
She was elected a Fellow of the Linguistic Society of America in 2006, and is currently the secretary of AAAS Section Z: Linguistics and Language Sciences.
