Jože Toporišič ((:ˈjóːʒɛ tɔpɔˈrìːʃit͡ʃ);〔 〕 October 11, 1926 – December 9, 2014) was a leading Slovene linguist. He was the author of the most influential Slovene scientific grammar of the second half of the 20th century, a member of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts, and coauthor of the Academy's Slovene Normative Guide ((スロベニア語:Slovenski pravopis)). In this position, he transformed the linguistic section of the academy into the central regulatory authority for codification of Slovene. ==Biography== Toporišič was born in the village of Mostec〔(Toporišič, Jože )〕 near Brežice in Slovenia, in what was then the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. During the Nazi occupation, his family was expelled from home and was resettled to Silesia, where they had to live between 1941 and 1945.〔(Dular, Janez. 2014. "Jože Toporišič (1926–2014)." ''Dnevnik'' (17 December). ) 〕 Upon returning to Yugoslavia, he studied Russian and Slavic philology in Ljubljana, and received his bachelor's degree in 1952.〔 In the early 1950s, he became a junior lecturer at the University of Zagreb, where he was influenced by the Prague school of structural linguistics. After returning to Slovenia in the early 1960s, he received his doctorate in 1963 at the Faculty of Arts in Ljubljana with the dissertation ''Nazorska in oblikovna struktura Finžgarjeve proze'' (The Conceptual and Formal Structure of Finžgar's Prose).〔〔(Vidali, Petra. 2014. "Umrl jezikoslovec in akademik Jože Toporišič." ''Večer'' (17 December). ) 〕 He started teaching at the University of Ljubljana and became the founding father of modern Slovene linguistics. As a leading personality of the newer generation of linguists, who brought an innovative and structural approach to the teaching of language, he was trusted by the educational authorities of the Socialist Republic of Slovenia to supervise the reform of language teaching in Slovenian schools from the late 1960s on. He was the author or co-author of several important textbooks, as well as the author of the most influential reference grammar of Slovene. His work has had an enormous influence in the development of modern Slovene language teaching. In 1968, he worked as an assistant researcher at the University of Chicago. Later he was a guest lecturer at the universities of Hamburg, Regensburg, Klagenfurt, and Graz. In addition to Slovene, he was fluent in German, Russian, Serbo-Croatian, and English; he also read Polish and other Slavic languages.〔http://videolectures.net/sadovi_toporisic_int/〕 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「Jože Toporišič」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
