Author Information

Anatoly Liberman received all his academic degrees in the former Soviet Union. In 1975 he emigrated to the United States and since that time has worked as Professor of Germanic philology at the University of Minnesota. As a language historian, he has been especially active in phonology and etymology. His other interests include oral tradition, Icelandic sagas, literary criticism, and poetic translation. His more than twenty books in those areas have appeared in the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, and Russia. Two of them (an annotated edition of the folklore works of Vladimir Propp and a bibliography of English etymology) received the main prizes in Great Britain and the United States. In 1982 his book on Scandinavian accentology was published, and in 1983 he received a Guggenheim fellowship for researching West Germanic. The present book is the culmination of his work on this subject.
