life and work

career

Müller received his doctorate in 1955 at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen under Heinrich Kuen with the thesis The origin of the ending -i in the 1st person. Sing. Pres. Ind. Of the Provencal main verb . He completed his habilitation there on Góngora's metaphor.

Manual

Müller was known among German Romance studies students for his widespread handbook The French of the Present. Varieties, structures, tendencies (Heidelberg 1975, French: Le français d'aujourd'hui , Paris 1985).

Research project

The focus of his research was the important project of the Diccionario del español medieval , the first systematic recording, lexicological-lexicographical processing and linguistically commented representation of the entire older Spanish vocabulary based on his own evaluation of the text documents from the 10th to the beginning of the 15th century.

After several years of funding from the German Research Foundation , the company was transferred as a long-term project to the academy program of the Federal and State Commission in 1984 and institutionally expanded to become a university-independent research facility under the aegis of the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences . The publication of the research results began in 1987. Two volumes had appeared before his death. The third volume was halfway done (last fascicle 25: alidada - allén / allende ). The completion of the huge project cannot be dated.

In the meantime, Romanists are working at the University of Rostock as part of the DFG project Diccionario del español medieval electrónico under the direction of Rafael Arnold on the digitization of the data archive of the Diccionario del español medieval.
