Carl Darling Buck (October 2, 1866 – February 8, 1955), born in Bucksport, Maine, was an American philologist. ==Biography== He graduated from Yale in 1886, was a graduate student there for three years, and studied at the American School of Classical Studies in Athens (1887-1889) and in Leipzig (1889-1892). In 1892 he became professor of Sanskrit and Indo-European comparative philology at the University of Chicago, and was later named Martin A. Ryerson Distinguished Service Professor of Comparative Philology. In his early career, he concentrated on the Italic dialects, including among his published work, ''Der Vocalismus der oskischen Sprache'' (1892), ''The Oscan-Umbrian Verb-System'' (1895), and ''Grammar of Oscan and Umbrian, with a collection of inscriptions and a glossary'' (1904), and a ''précis'' of the Italic languages in Johnson's ''Universal Cyclopaedia''. He collaborated with W.G. Hale in the preparation of ''A Latin Grammar'' (1903). Later, he worked extensively on the Greek dialects, publishing: ''The Greek dialects; grammar, selected inscriptions, glossary'' (1910), ''Comparative grammar of Greek and Latin'' (1933); and on more general Indo-European issues. His ''Dictionary of Selected Synonyms in the Principal Indo-European Languages'' was called by Calvert Watkins "a treasure house of words, word origins, expressions, and ideas..., a monument to a great American scholar".〔(1949, reprinted 1988, ISBN 0-226-07937-6 )〕 Many of Buck's books went through multiple editions, and several are still in print. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carl Darling Buck」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
