Katarzyna Janic graduated from Wrocław University with a master’s degree in English Linguistics (2002). After moving to France, she obtained her second M.A. degree in General Linguistics at Lyon 2 University. She received a Ph.D. degree in General Linguistics under the supervision of Prof. Creissels (December 2013). Her thesis, ‘L’antipassif dans les langues accusatives’, was awarded the international Greenberg Award in 2015 honoring outstanding contributions to linguistic typology.

She started her postdoctoral career in 2016. First, thanks to the Swiss Government Excellence Scholarship, she carried out her project ‘Antipassive constructions: from multivariate typology to distribution’ at Zürich University under mentoring of Prof. Bickel (2016-2017). Then, she continued at Leipzig University as a member of the ERC project ‘Grammatical Universals’ held by Prof. Haspelmath (2017-2020).

Her interest lies in morphosyntactic typology. Among various language phenomena, she investigated argument structure, voice and valency operations, including antipassive, benefactive, reflexive and reciprocal constructions.
