Jerry Norman (sinologist)
Jerry Lee Norman (July 16, 1936July 7, 2012) was an American sinologist and linguist best known for his studies of Chinese dialects and Chinese historical phonology, especially the Min Chinese dialects and the Manchu language. Norman had a large impact on Chinese linguistics, and was largely responsible for the identification of the importance of the Min Chinese dialects in linguistic research into Old Chinese.
==Biography==
Jerry Norman was born on July 16, 1936, in Watsonville, California. After graduating from high school, he began attending the University of California at Berkeley where he studied Chinese under the prominent Chinese linguist and polymath Y. R. Chao. In 1965 he had worked with Leo Chen on an introduction to the Fuzhou dialect and a Fuzhou-English glossary, and in 1966 Norman joined the Chinese Linguistics Project at Princeton University as a staff linguist. He subsequently went to Taiwan to engage in field research on Taiwanese, and in 1969 he completed his PhD at Berkeley, with a dissertation on the Jianyang dialect of Fujian. In 1972, he joined the Department of Asian Languages and Literature at the University of Washington, where he remained for the rest of his academic career, retiring in 1998.
In a series of papers from 1973, Norman applied the comparative method to popular forms in modern Min dialects to reconstruct proto-Min.
He died of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in Seattle on July 7, 2012.
