Everything about Calvert Watkins totally explained
Calvert Watkins is a
professor Emeritus of
linguistics and the
classics at
Harvard University and professor-in-residence at
UCLA.
His doctoral dissertation,
Indo-European Origins of the Celtic Verb I.
The Sigmatic Aorist (Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, 1962), which deeply reflected the
structuralist approach of
Jerzy Kuryłowicz, opened a fresh era of creative work in
Celtic comparative linguistics and the study of the verbal system of
Indo-European languages.
Watkins, in a sense, completed his contribution to this area with his
Indogermanische Grammatik III/1: Geschichte der Indogermanischen Verbalflexion (1969). Meanwhile, his work on Indo-European vocabulary and poetics yielded a large number of articles on (among others)
Celtic,
Anatolian,
Greek,
Italic and
Indo-Iranian material, presented most thoroughly in his latest book,
How to Kill a Dragon: Aspects of Indo-European Poetics (Oxford University Press, 1995).
He contributed his expertise on
Indo-European languages to the first edition of
The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language and edited
The American Heritage Dictionary of Indo-European Roots (ISBN 0-618-08250-6).
