Wendy Sandler is an American-Israeli linguist who is known for her research on the phonology of Sign Languages.[1]

Sandler earned her PhD in linguistics from the University of Texas-Austin in 1987, with a dissertation entitled "Sequentiality and simultaneity in American Sign Language."[2] A revised version of her dissertation was published in 1989 under the title, "Phonological Representation of the Sign: Linearity and Nonlinearity in Sign Language Phonology."

After her dissertation, she took up a position at the University of Haifa, Israel, where she became a Professor of Linguistics in the Department of English Language and Literature.[3] She was also the Founding Director of the Sign Language Research Lab there.[4]

Sandler has co-written a book on Israeli Sign Language with Irit Meir (Meir & Sandler 2007). With Diane Lillo-Martin she has co-authored a standard linguistic introduction to the phonology and syntax of American Sign Language (Sandler & Lillo-Martin 2006).[5]

In collaboration with Mark Aronoff, Irit Meir and Carol Padden she has made fundamental contributions to the investigation of the emergence of language with her research on Al-Sayyid Bedouin Sign Language.[6] This research is featured in Talking Hands, by Margalit Fox.[7]

She currently (2014-2019) leads a European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grant entitled, "The Grammar of the Body: Revealing the Foundations of Compositionality in Human Language" (GRAMBY).[8]
