Madeleine Mathiot

Madeleine Mathiot (June 11, 1927[1] – December 4, 2020[2]) was a Professor emerita of Linguistics at the University at Buffalo in Buffalo, New York.[3]

Mathiot received her Ph.D. in 1966 from the Catholic University of America with a dissertation entitled, "An approach to the study of language and culture relations."[4] She is best known for her work on the O'odham language (also known as Papago-Pima), linguistic meaning, and conversation analysis.[3][5][6][7] In 1973 she published A Dictionary of Papago Usage which was based on her work with O'odham-language speakers in the late 1950s and early 1960s.[8] The Arizona Daily Star lauded it as "probably the finest dictionary compiled for any North American Indian language."[9]
