Saul
Levin
Distinguished
Professor of Ancient Languages, Emeritus
PhD in Classical Studies, University
of Chicago, 1949.
BA, University of Chicago,
1942
A member of the Binghamton
faculty since 1961, Saul Levin is widely recognized for his path-breaking
work in comparative linguistics, with a specialization in Indo-European
and Semitic languages. To quote the Harpur Hotline tribute to him
(6/15/01),
"He considers among his most significant works a Hebrew Grammar book
that he wrote for his own students at Washington University, The Linear
B Decipherment Controversy Re-examined (1964) and Indo-European and
Semitic Languages: An Exploration of Structural Similarities Related to
Accent, Chiefly in Greek, Sanskrit, and Hebrew (1971)."
This last work was followed
by Semitic and Indo-European: The Principal Etymologies: With Observations
on Afro-Asiatic (1995); forthcoming is the sequel to that.
A memorable teacher, Professor
Levin has devoted himself to pedagogical issues just as he has to his
scholarship.
