About the Author
The Dutch linguist C.C. Uhlenbeck (1866-1951) was a key figure in the Dutch and international academic world between the 1880s and the 1940s. He worked on many different languages, including Balto-Slavic, Sanskrit, Dutch, Basque, Eskimo, and Blackfoot. He engaged in the scholarly debates of his time on topics such as the genetic relationships between languages, the relation between language and culture, and the role of psychology in the explanation of linguistic structure. He was instrumental in the establishment of important organizations and publication venues, such as the International Congress of Linguists, of which he was the first president (1928) and the International Journal of American Linguistics. He also was a loyal and active member of the Koninkelijke Nederlandse Akademie van Wetenschappen [Royal Academy of Sciences], in whose proceedings he published much of his work. He trained or influenced many important academics and others, including the anthropologist J.P.B. de Josselin de Jong, the slavists N. van Wijk and R. van der Meulen, the hispanist G.J. Geers, the Sanskritists F.B.J. Kuiper and J.P. Vogel, the linguist and netherlandist J.J.A, van Ginneken, and the germanist A.J. Portengen.
