Everything about Roy Andrew Miller totally explained
Roy Andrew Miller (born
September 5,
1924) is a
linguist notable for his advocacy of
Korean and
Japanese as members of the
Altaic group of languages.
Miller was born in
Winona, Minnesota, USA, on September 5th, 1924. In
1953, he completed a
PhD in Chinese and Japanese at Columbia University in New York. Long a student of languages, his early work in the
1950s was largely with
Chinese and
Tibetan. For example, in
1969 he wrote the
Encyclopædia Britannica entry on the
Tibeto-Burman Languages of
South Asia.
He was Professor of Linguistics at the
International Christian University in
Tokyo from
1955 to
1963. Subsequently he taught at
Yale University; between
1964 and
1970, he was chairman of the department of East and South Asian Languages and Literatures. From
1970 until
1989 he held a similar post at the
University of Washington in
Seattle. Since then, he's taught in
Europe, mainly in
Germany and
Scandinavia.
Prof. Miller has written extensively on the Japanese language, from
A Japanese Reader (
1963) and
The Japanese Language (
1967) to
Japanese and the Other Altaic Languages (
1971) and
Nihongo: In Defense of Japanese (
1986). He later broadened his scope by linking Korean both to Japanese and Altaic, most notably in
Languages and History: Japanese, Korean, and Altaic (
1996).
On the occasion of Miller's 75th birthday, Professors
Karl Menges and
Nelly Naumann prepared a
Festschrift highlighting his career and including articles on Altaic languages.
