Hans Marchand

Hans Marchand (1 October 1907 – 13 December 1978) 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.

Marchand 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]
