Born: September 15, 1845, London [Died] April 30, 1912. British linguist at Oxford. He engaged in research into phonetics and English linguistics, laying the foundations for scientific English linguistics. In the field of phonetics, he made a great contribution to the establishment of general phonetics together with scholars on the continent. He devised "organic notation," an improvement on A. Bell's visible speech, for the representation of linguistic sounds, and also devised two types of symbols based on the Roman alphabet, broad Romic and narrow Romic. These became the basis of the current International Phonetic Alphabet, while the former, broad Romic, was the forerunner of the current phonological notation. In the field of English linguistics, he devoted himself particularly to the study of Old English, and edited many works on Old English and Middle English. His major works include such phonetic works as Handbook of Phonetics (1887), A Primer of Phonetics (1892), The Sounds of English (1908), as well as other works on phonetics such as the Anglo-Saxon Reader (1876), New English Grammar (2 vols., 1991-1998), and The History of Language (1900).
