Career[edit]

Harley was born in Oregon, but was raised in St. John's, Newfoundland. She earned her B.A. in Linguistics and English at Memorial University of Newfoundland in 1991. She received her Ph.D. in Linguistics and Philosophy in 1995 from Massachusetts Institute of Technology,[3] under the supervision of Alec Marantz.

She has published over thirty articles on morphological theory, syntax, and semantics, including articles in the journals Language, Linguistic Inquiry, Lingua, Morphology Yearbook, and Studia Linguistica.[4] She is the editor of three volumes of collected papers, the editor of two special issues of journals, and is the author of a textbook on morphological theory (Harley 2005).
