John Loewenthal

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joel Wulf John Loewenthal (born November 6, 1885 in Berlin ; † September 19, 1930 there ) was a German linguist.

Life

Löwenthal comes from a Berlin Jewish family. After graduating from high school in 1905, he received his doctorate in Leipzig in 1913. In the 1920s he published a large number of philological essays, including on political issues.

He showed a national understanding of the development of the Indo-European language. In 1927 he wrote in connection with the salmon argument : “The Germanic peoples [...] are real Indo-Europeans. They are the only species and ethnicity that have been preserved in their purity and are likely [...] advancing from the sources of the Vistula and Oder over the Danish islands to Skåne , starting their historical work from Skåne. ” His view that this prevailed against other proposals word salmon , the meaning has "the spotted".

He died, as trade magazines pointed out, at the age of 45.
