Marcel Cohen and André Georges Haudricourt: an Unusual Vantage Point on Linguistics

Marcel Cohen and André Georges Haudricourt: an Unusual Vantage Point on Linguistics - 2009.
48
Asked about his own training, A.-G. Haudricourt stresses the influence of two of his masters: Marcel Mauss, for the ethnological side of his work, and Marcel Cohen for linguistics and phonology. Marcel Mauss taught him to think about the concrete aspects of a society; Marcel Cohens influence, on the other hand, seems much more difficult to grasp and, in many respects, much more diffuse. Their correspondence, and documents from the A.-G. Haudricourt archives in our possession, today give us a better idea of how those two scholars were able to work together and validate certain seminal sociolinguistic hypotheses.
