Martin Hilpert (June 4, 1977) — cognitive-functional grammarian, professor of English Linguistics at the University of Neuchâtel, and is interested in cognitive linguistics, language change, construction grammar, and corpus linguistics. The work of these linguists has strongly shaped his outlook on language : Adele Goldberg, Elizabeth Traugott, Joan Bybee, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_Th._Gries Stefan Th. Gries], Anatol Stefanowitsch, Suzanne Kemmer, Bernd Heine, Christian Lehmann, Peter Auer. He did postdoctoral research at the International Computer Science Institute in Berkeley and at the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies. He was president of the SLE (Societas Linguistica Europaea) in 2016, but currently (2019) is vice-president for research of the ISLE (International society for the linguistics of English).
