Stephen Ullmann (Ullmann István in Hungarian, 31 July 1914 – 10 January 1976) was a Hungarian linguist who spent most of his life in England and wrote about style and semantics in romance and common languages.
Born in Hungary, Ullmann achieved degrees from Eötvös Loránd University (otherwise known as the University of Budapest) and the University of Glasgow in Scotland. Ullmann later taught at Glasgow University, Leeds University, and Oxford University.
Ullmann’s ideas on semantics is said to be backed up by a wealth of published materials from across Europe. In addition, his works were translated into a variety of languages, such as French and Japanese, and were said to be quite influential.
