German linguist (1907–1978)

Hans Marchand (Krefeld, 1 October 1907 – Genoa, 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, but became famous in his discipline for his theories on word-formation in the English language. Linguists following his approach are called Marchandeans.

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", a "milestone monograph", a "monumental volume . . . likely to continue to be widely used as a reference book".
