Biographical/Historical Sketch
Alphonse Juilland, born in 1922 in Bucharest, studied at the University of Bucharest,
graduating in 1945 magna cum laude, and obtained his doctorate from the Sorbonne in
Paris in 1951. He taught literature, language, linguistics and philosophy in France,
Switzerland, Canada, and, in the United States, at the University of Washington, the
University of Pennsylvania, and Columbia University, before his appointment as a
professor in the Department of French and Italian at Stanford in 1961. Juilland was an
international pioneer in his studies of the application of structural methods in
historical linguistics and in linguistic structure theory, gaining acclaim as one of the
first linguists to analyze language using quantitative methods using computers. His many
pioneering works include the first structuralist history of French pronunciation, the
first inverse dictionary of the French language, and various books and essays studying
the French novelist Louis-Ferdinand Celine's life, fiction, and linguistic importance.
In 1975 and again in 1988, Juilland was decorated by the French government in
recognition for his major contributions to French culture and education in the United
States. Later in life, he became one of the world's fastest senior sprinters, holding
three world records for men over 50. Alphonse Juilland died June 30, 2000, at the age of
77.
