Garrett received his Ph.D. in linguistics from Harvard University in 1990,with a dissertation titled The Syntax of Anatolian Pronominal Clitics. He is a fellow of the Linguistic Society of America.[1]
A 2015 paper co-authored by Garrett was recognized as the Best Linguistics Paper of the Year. Titled "Ancestry-constrained phylogenetic analysis support the Indo-European steppe hypothesis," (co-authored by Will Chang,David Hall,Chundra Cathcart),it elegantly showed that,when methodological errors are corrected,phylogenetic analysis (which had earlier been used to suggest that the steppe hypothesis was untenable),actually supports the time frame necessary for the steppe hypothesis.[3][4]
Garrett is married to another professor at Berkeley,Leslie Kurke.[5]
