	Iranica.com - MEILLET, (PAUL JULES) ANTOINE
		Meillet's work was accordingly of some importance also for French sociolinguistics, influenced as he was by the ideas of Émile Durkheim, Marcel Mauss, and their like, and regarding language explicitly as a social fact (un fait social), a social institution immanent in the individuals, but at the same time independent from them.
		Meillet was the editor (together with Marcel Cohen) of a large collective volume, which compactly dealt with all the world's languages from both the synchronic and diachronic point of view (Meillet, 1924a).
		Thus Meillet dealt essentially with the main characteristics of the phonological and morphological aspects of the language, confining himself to those forms which are attested authentically and could be interpreted with a degree of certainty.

	Antoine Meillet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Antoine Meillet (Paul-Jules-Antoine Meillet, November 11, 1866 - September 21, 1936), was one of the most important French linguists of the early 20th century.
		Meillet began his studies at the Sorbonne, where he was influenced by Michel Bréal, Ferdinand de Saussure, and the members of the Annee Sociologique.
		Today Meillet is remembered as the mentor of an entire generation of linguists and philologists who would become central to French linguistics in the twentieth century, such as Émile Benveniste, Georges Dumézil, and André Martinet.

	revue HEL - RESUMES 27/1
		ABSTRACT : As is well known, Antoine Meillet, the reputed French comparativist, died in 1936 at the age of seventy.
		During the thirties and the forties, and perhaps even in the fifties, he was still held in high esteem both as an Indo-Europeanist and as a general linguist.
		Those charges were mainly based on Meillet’s alleged inability to grasp the conceptions of his master and friend Ferdinand de Saussure as reflected in the Cours de linguistique générale.

	Balto-Slavic languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Until Meillet's Dialects indo-européens of 1908, Balto-Slavic unity was undisputed among linguists -- as he notes himself at the beginning of the Le Balto-Slave chapter, "L'unité linguistique balto-slave est l'une de celles que personne ne conteste" ("Balto-Slavic linguistic unity is one of those that no one contests").
		Meillet's critique of Balto-Slavic confined itself to the seven characteristics listed by Karl Brugmann in 1903, attempting to show that no single one of these is sufficient to prove genetic unity.
		Szemerényi in his 1957 re-examination of Meillet's results concludes that the Balts and Slavs did, in fact, share a "period of common language and life", and were probably separated due to the incursion of Germanic tribes along the Vistula and the Dnepr roughly at the beginning of the Common Era.

	Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		It is commonly asserted that shared morphological aberrancies have special status in determining genetic relatedness, substituting for or even preferable to the lexico-phonological evidence from regular sound correspondence between forms with similar meanings.
		This claim is often attributed to or buttressed by quotes from the work of Antoine Meillet.
		In this paper, we review what Meillet actually said on the subject, and conclude that he is less than explicit with regard to how one identifies shared aberrancies.

		I show that Meillet wrote little about grammaticalisation and that he hardly ever used this word, and possibly did not mean for it to be viewed as a term / label.
		Moreover, the paper in question (Meillet, 1912) is basically a general introduction to a concept which he sees as a continuation of a notion with a long history.
		Despite the general acceptance that Meillet coined grammaticalisation, my thesis proves that it could have been coined more than once, and that it does not always mean the same thing to all users.

		There is a suggestion that while the phrase does not appear in Saussure's work, Meillet got it from Saussure's lectures.
		In this paper, though, Peeters decides that all the evidence points to Meillet as the author of the slogan, which he apparently used 10 years before the 1903 version which most people know.

		My plan, as I was telling you, was to solve the riddle of the proto-language spoken in the Baltic region some 3,000 years ago.
		As the French linguist Antoine Meillet famously said, anyone wishing to hear how Indo-European was spoken should listen to a Lithuanian peasant.
		I took that to mean a Suvalkian barley farmer, and within hours after having sat behind the wheel of a rented Volkswagen Golf in Kaunas, I found myself puttering along a quiet road through the farmlands near the Polish border.

		In France Antoine Meillet and Émile Benveniste would continue Saussure's program.
		Most importantly, however, members of the Prague School of linguistics such as Roman Jakobson and Nikolai Trubetzkoy conducted research that would be greatly influential.
