**Hans Marchand** ([Krefeld](/source/Krefeld), 1 October 1907 – [Genoa](/source/Genoa), 13 December 1978[1]) was a German linguist. He studied [Romance languages](/source/Romance_languages), English and Latin, and after fleeing Germany in 1934[2] was a lecturer of [linguistics](/source/Linguistics) at [Istanbul](/source/Istanbul_University), [Yale University](/source/Yale_University), and [Bard College](/source/Bard_College). From 1957 to 1973 he was a professor at the [University of Tübingen](/source/University_of_T%C3%BCbingen).[1]

Marchand published works on linguistic phenomena occurring in languages such as [English](/source/English_language), [French](/source/French_language), [Turkish](/source/Turkish_language) and [Italian](/source/Italian_language),[3] but became famous in his discipline for his theories on [word-formation](/source/Word_formation) in the English language. Linguists following his approach are called *Marchandeans*.[4]

Marchand wrote much of what would become *The Categories and Types of Present-Day English Word-Formation* (1960) "while in internal exile in Turkey in an Anatolian village from 1944 to 1945, under threat of repatriation to Germany".[2] Decades after the publication in 1969 of the second, greatly expanded (and much more widely cited) edition, it was still being cited approvingly in the morphology literature: "has remained the authoritative description of English word-formation",[2] a "meticulous volume",[5] a "milestone monograph",[6] a "monumental volume . . . likely to continue to be widely used as a reference book".[7]
