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 linguisticsatIstanbul, 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".[6]
