Frederik Kortlandt Totally Explained

Everything about Frederik Kortlandt totally explained

Frederik Herman Henri (Frits) Kortlandt (June 19 1946, Utrecht, The Netherlands) is a professor of descriptive and comparative linguistics at Leiden University. He is an expert on Baltic and Slavic languages, the Indo-European languages in general, and Proto-Indo-European, though he's also published studies of languages in many other language families. He has also studied ways to associate language families into super-groups such as Indo-Uralic.
Kortlandt, along with George van Driem and a few other colleagues, is one of the proponents of the Leiden School of linguistics, which describes language in terms of a meme or benign parasite.
Kortlandt holds five degrees from the University of Amsterdam:

B.A., 1967, Slavic Linguistics and Literature
B.A., 1967, mathematics and economics
M.A., 1969, Slavic linguistics
M.A., 1970, mathematical economics
Ph.D., 1972, mathematical linguistics

Kortlandt is a member of the Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences and a Spinozapremie laureate. In 2007, he composed a version of Schleicher's fable, a story written in a hypothetical reconstruction Proto-Indo-European, which differs radically from all previous versions.
