Synopsis

Antoine Meillet (1866-1936) is one of the most important linguists of all time. A French linguist and Indo-Europeanist, he was the author of over two dozen books and reference works that are still widely consulted, including ""The Comparative Method in Historical Linguistics"" and ""General Characteristics of the Germanic Languages"". Meillet was a student of Ferdinand de Saussure, intellectual father of structuralism, at the Sorbonne. He spent most of his career at the College of France, teaching a generation of students who would be influential in their own right.

Review

Books by Meiller are still basic treatments of data that underpin the discipline and are clearly written so that students who want to fill in background can do so. - Carol F. Justus, University of Texas-Austin ""I have found it very useful to be able to consult Meillet's writings in English... Meillet is still widely read and highly valued."" - Elizabeth Couper-Kuhlen, Universitat Potsdam
