Felix Ameka (born 1957) is a linguist working on the intersection of grammar, meaning and culture.

Ameka has made seminal contributions to the cross-linguistic study of interjections, editing a highly influential special issue on 'the universal yet neglected part of speech'.

[6] A long-term research associate at the Max Planck Institute of Psycholinguistics, Ameka has led a large-scale comparative project on the semantics of locative predicates[7] and contributed to cross-linguistic work on the expression of motion events.

With Alan Dench and Nick Evans, he co-edited an influential collection on the art of grammar writing.

[8] Ameka is editor of the Journal of African Languages and Linguistics together with Azeb Amha.
