Hans Marchand ( Krefeld, 1 October 1907 – Genoa, 13 December 1978 [1]) was a German linguist. He studied Romance languages, English and Latin, and after fleeing Germany during the Third Reich was a lecturer of linguistics at Istanbul, Yale University, and Bard College. From 1957 to 1973 he was a professor at the University of Tübingen. [1]
Marchand published works on linguistic phenomena occurring in languages such as English, French, Turkish and Italian, [2] but became famous in his discipline for his theories on word-formation in the English language. Linguists following his approach are called Marchandeans. [3]
Decades after the publication in 1969 of the second (and much more widely cited) edition of Marchand's The Categories and Types of Present-Day English Word-Formation, it was still being cited approvingly in the morphology literature: a "meticulous volume", [4] a "milestone monograph", [5] a "monumental volume . . . likely to continue to be widely used as a reference book".
