Jeanne Martinet (born March 24, 1920[1]), a recognized semiotician, is proprietor of a semiotics school. Her husband was the eminent linguist André Martinet (1908-1999). In 1973 in Paris, Jeanne Martinet published the book Clefs pour la sémiologie, which has been translated into numerous languages. In 1993, she co-authored with her husband the volume Mémoires d'un linguiste.

Although her husband was Research Director of the International Auxiliary Language Association (IALA) from 1946 to 1948, she became involved with Interlingua only in 1997, when a group of interviewers including Alix Potet spoke with the couple in their home.

In 2002, she was elected President of the Union Interlinguiste de France. The same year, she traveled to Guadaloupe to deliver the presentation "Créole et interlingua" at the conference of the International Society of Functional Linguistics. In 2005, she presented "L'interlingua et la linguistique fonctionnelle" to the society in Helsinki, Finland.
