Jessica Coon is a Professor in the Department of Linguistics at McGill University and Canada Research Chair in Syntax and Indigenous Languages. Her research focuses on variation across human languages, specifically in the domains of syntax (sentence structure) and morphology (word structure), with a special focus on Mayan and Iroquoian languages.
In addition to theoretical work on these languages, she has worked to support community-led language documentation and revitalization efforts. At McGill, Coon co-leads the Montreal Underdocumented Languages Linguistics Lab (MULL-Lab), a venue for students and other local researchers to meet to discuss topics and ongoing projects related to research on underdocumented languages.
Her expertise in linguistic fieldwork and language universals led to her role as the linguistics consultant for the 2016 film "Arrival."
Coon received her BA in linguistics-anthropology from Reed College and her PhD from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
