Jean Haust (born February 10, 1868 in Verviers , † November 24, 1946 ) was a Belgian Romanist and Wallonist .

life and work

Haust studied in Liège with Maurice Wilmotte and became Agrégé in 1889 . From 1892 he was a Latin teacher in Liège, from 1897 a member of the Liège Society for Walloon Literature (later "Society for Walloon Language and Literature"), from 1920 a member of the Académie royale de langue et de littérature françaises, from 1921 he was assigned to research of the Walloon dialects. From 1932 to 1938 he was a full professor of dialectology at the University of Liège (successor: Louis Remacle ).

Haus first worked on the project of a Dictionnaire général de la langue wallonne , which turned out to be impracticable. From 1924 he systematically collected data for the major scientific project of a linguistic atlas of Walloon, which, however, only began to appear after his death: Atlas linguistique de la Wallonie. ALW (of the 20 planned volumes have been published: Vol. 1, 1953; 2, 1969; 3, 1955; 4, 1976; 5, 1991; 6, 2006; 8, 1994; 9, 1987; 15, 1997).

Haust was involved in the Walloon Movement.
