I
taught Germanic linguistics and Scandinavian languages
at UNC from 1966 until my retirement in June 1997. I
advised or co-advised six dissertations (mostly on Icelandic
matters) and several M.A. theses related to Germanic
linguistics; I remain available for consultation on
topics such as these. It is not clear whether circumstances
will make it possible for me to return periodically
to teach Introduction to Norwegian, but I am available
to help students with Norwegian or arrange instruction
with Scandinavians who tutor Norwegian, Swedish, or
Danish. My writings have treated early modern Icelandic,
Scandanavian bibliography, pedagogical matters, and
Leonard Bloomfield's scholarship. I chaired the Department
of Germanic Languages for fourteen years and the Curriculum
in Linguistics for three years, and I was faculty advisor
to the German House, which I founded in 1986. I have
written a history of the Department from its beginnings
in the early twentieth century up to 1989.
