You've come to the homepage of Joseph Salmons. I have a BA in Philosophy (UNC-Charlotte, 1978) and a PhD in Germanic Linguistics (University of Texas, 1984). I research and teach about sounds and language change, drawing data particularly from historical and contemporary Germanic languages.

With Rob Howell and Paul Roberge, I am writing a two-volume Cambridge History of the Germanic Languages and with Patrick Honeybone I'm editing the Handbook of Historical Phonology for Oxford University Press. I also have the privilege of serving as Executive Editor of Diachronica: International journal for historical linguistics and Director of the Center for the Study of Upper Midwestern Cultures. more . . .

My public schedule is available under the 'Contact' link.
