Paul Hopper

"(Note: This article is about the linguist Paul Hopper, not the singer by the same name.)

Paul Hopper is an American linguist of British birth. In 1973 he proposed the glottalic theory regarding the reconstruction of the Proto-Indo-European consonant inventory, in parallel with James Makken and V. V. Ivanov. He later also became known for his theory of "emergent grammar" (Hopper 1987), for his contributions to the theory of grammaticalisation and other work dealing with the interface between grammar and usage. He currently works as the Paul Mellon Distinguished Professor of Humanities at the Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, USA.
