She received a Ph.D. from Princeton University in linguistics and later joined Princeton's Cognitive Science Laboratory working with George Armitage Miller on the development of WordNet, a large lexical database that serves as a widely used resource in computational linguistics and natural language processing applications. In 2001, she received the Wolfgang-Paul Prize of the Humboldt-Foundation and started the 'Kollokationen im Wörterbuch' project at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences. She is a founder and president of the Global WordNet Association, which guides the constructions of lexical databases in many languages around the globe. Together with G. A.
