Education and career

Aristar-Dry graduated magna cum laude with a B.A. in English and French from Southern Methodist University in 1967, and received her M.A. in English and linguistics from the University of Texas at Austin in 1973. She received her Ph.D. in linguistics from the University of Texas at Austin in 1975, where she wrote a dissertation entitled Syntactic Reflexes of Point of View in Emma.[5]

Aristar-Dry has held appointments at Eastern Michigan University (1991–2013), the University of Texas at Austin (1989), the University of Texas at San Antonio (1977–1988), and Auburn University (1975–1977). She was a Fulbright Professor at Universitet i Tromsø in 1989–90. Aristar-Dry has also taught at the Linguistic Society of America Summer Institute (2003), the CoLang (InField) Institute for Collaborative Language Research (2008 and 2012),[6] [7] and the Summer School on Computational Linguistics (2010).[8]

In 1991, Aristar-Dry joined Anthony Aristar as the co-moderator of The LINGUIST List, a major online resource for the field of Linguistics. She served as the co-moderator of the LINGUIST List until her retirement in 2013. In 2006, Aristar-Dry became the co-director of the Institute for Language and Information Technology (ILIT), an autonomous research center at Eastern Michigan University, which consolidated the LINGUIST List and various research projects under one roof[9] until the LINGUIST List moved to Indiana University in 2014.[10]

During her time at LINGUIST List and ILIT, Aristar-Dry oversaw many research projects to improve digital infrastructure for linguistics, including the Electronic Metastructure for Endangered Languages Data (E-MELD) project; the Dena'ina Archiving, Training & Access (DATA) project; Multi-Tree; LL-Map; and the Rendering Endangered Languages Lexicons Interoperable Through Standards Harmonization (RELISH) project. She also mentored many linguistics graduate students.
