E. F. K. (Ernst Frideryk Konrad) Koerner (born 5 February 1939) is an author, researcher and Professor of Linguistics. ==Early life and education== Koerner was born in Mlewiec near Turuń, Poland (formerly called Hofleben near Thorn Western Prussia), on the family manor. He is the second son of the economist Johann Jakob Friedrich Koerner (LL.D., University of Heidelberg, 1922) and his wife Annelise, née Koerner (from a distant Berlin branch of the family). He has two well-known great grandfathers; one was the Lord Mayor of Thorn 1842–1871, Theodor Eduard Koerner (1810–1891; LLD, University of Berlin, 1835), the other the Berlin orientalist painter Ernst Carl Eugen Koerner (1846–1927). Koerner was educated at the Gymnasium of Krefeld, graduating in March 1960. He performed obligatory military service the following two years, beginning his studies in German and English philology, the history of art, pedagogy, and philosophy at the University of Göttingen in the summer of 1962, with the idea of becoming a high-school teacher. Three semesters later he moved to the Free University of Berlin, but also studied English literature and applied linguistics for two terms at the University of Edinburgh (1964–1965), before returning to Berlin in the summer of 1965 for his ''Philosophicum.'' Koerner accepted an appointment as Professeur d’allemand et d’anglais at the Collège Notre-Dame in Valenciennes, France, for the school year 1965–1966. He returned to Germany and spent the next four semesters at the University of Gießen, completing the exams for both the State Diploma and the M.A. in April and May 1968. By 1967, he had changed the focus of his studies to the analysis of language, writing his M.A. thesis on the development and use of the subjunctive in German. Although he had made use of some Saussurean notions in his Master’s thesis, it was not until the spring of 1969, during his second semester as a graduate student in general linguistics at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, B.C., Canada that he began to familiarize himself with the essentials of the posthumously assembled ''Cours de linguistique générale'' of Ferdinand de Saussure. He developed the grand scheme of a thesis proposal on the history and evolution of Saussure’s linguistic theory, persuading G. L. Bursill-Hall to act as supervisor. Koerner started, in typical German fashion, with the compilation of a bibliography “on the background, development and actual relevance of Ferdinand de Saussure’s general theory of language.” It was accepted for publication a year later, by which time he was busily writing up the dissertation, which was defended in 1971, with Dell Hymes as external examiner. (It was published 15 months later in Germany and has since been translated into Spanish, Japanese, an Hungarian.) 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「E. F. K. Koerner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
