Who is Arnold Zwicky?
Arnold M. Zwicky is a perennial Visiting Professor of linguistics at Stanford University, and Distinguished University Professor Emeritus of linguistics at the Ohio State University.
A student of Morris Halle at MIT, he has made notable contributions to fields of phonology, morphology, syntax, interfaces, sociolinguistics and American dialectology.
He coined the term recency illusion, the belief that a word, meaning, grammatical construction or phrase is of recent origin when it is in fact of long-established usage.
At the Linguistic Society of America's 1999 Summer Institute he was the Edward Sapir professor, the most prestigious chair of this organization, of which he is a past president.
He is one of the editors of Handbook of Morphology, among other published works. He is also well known as a frequent contributor to the linguistics blog Language Log, as well as his own personal blog that largely focuses on linguistics issues.
Zwicky is a former board member of the National Organization of Gay and Lesbian Scientists and Technical Professionals, who chose him as 2008 GLBT Scientist of the Year.
