Hans Marchand

Hans Marchand (1 October 1907 - 13 December 1978) was a German Linguist. He studied Romance Languages, English and Latin and was due to his fleeing from Germany during the Third Reich a lecturer of linguistics at Istandbul, Yale University, Bard College. From 1957 to 1973 he was a professor at the university of Tübingen. He published works on linguistic phenomena occurring in languages such as English, French, Turkish and Italian[1], but became famous in his discipline for his theories on word-formation in the English language. Linguists following his approach are called Marchandeans.[2]
