Who is Georg Holzer?
Georg Holzer is an Austrian Slavist and Indo-Europeanist.
After graduating in Slavic Studies and Indo-European Studies at the University of Vienna, he earned his doctorate in 1982. Immediately thereafter he started a three-year appointment as a lecturer for German language at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb. Since 1997 he has been an Associate Professor at the Institute for Slavic Studies at the University of Vienna. He also occasionally teaches at the universities of Zagreb and Zadar.
Holzer is the author of five books and over 50 scientific articles. In 1995, Holzer devised a new theory about the state of the Proto-Slavic language around 600 AD. After initial skepticism, the far-reaching statements on a relatively narrow empirical basis have been recognized in comparative Slavistics. Holzer is the author of the article Urslawisch published in the Lexikon der Sprachen des europäischen Ostens. This is part of the plan of the Austrian Ministry of Science since 2000. The Encyclopedia of the European East has been published, in Klagenfurt.
