#France: professor accused of ‘gigantic hoax’ after inventing Nobel-style prize

“ There was no Intl Society of #Philology.

The US university to which it was affiliated existed only online, its address was traced to a jewellery store in Delaware.

The award – likened to a Nobel – was invented by Montaclair, & he had bought the medal from a jeweller in Paris for €250 to present to himself.”

The gold medal for deception: How a professor created an international award out of thin air.

In 2016, Florent Montaclair stepped into the spotlight when he received the Gold Medal of Philology, a sort of Nobel Prize for the discipline.

In fact, the award was created by Montaclair himself. It took an investigation by Romanian journalists to uncover this hoax, which is now the subject of a judicial inquiry in France.

Okay, so "redact" and "react" are from the same word stems (re + agere, although react uses the past participle actus), but coined about 200 years apart.

Wait, where'd the "d" come from, I hear you ask? Well, the "re-" prefix used to take a "d" in front of stems that started with a vowel, like redeem, redundant, redolent.

Then later we stopped adding the "d" but we kept making words. Hence "react."

**Material philology and Syriac excerpting practices: A computational-quantitative study of the digitized catalog of the Syriac manuscripts in the British Library**

“_The results reveal that most manuscripts contain fewer than 20 excerpts, but a small number show much higher levels of excerpting, highlighting the immense intellectual and literary activities implicated in their production._”

Funny research quandary today: I wanted to make the case that a certain medieval author used a specific word in a specific passage in order to call back to a thematically similar gospel passage.

Turns out the Vulgate uses the word, but almost every single author contemporary with mine DROPS THE SPECIFIC WORD I'M LOOKING FOR when quoting the gospel passage.

Audio Etymologies of the Day

Central to the Proto-Indo-European vowel system is the pattern of vowel changes named "ablaut" by 19th c. German-speaking linguists, e.g.:

root: √*s—d “sit, settle”
e-grade: *sed- > sit
o-grade: *sod- > sat
zero grade: *-sd-, in *ni-sd-o > nest
long e-grade: *se:d-i‑ > seat
long o-grade: *so:d-o- > soot

sometimes leading to differences between languages. Audio examples at
http://www.ancientsounds.net/ablaut.html

How do we "know" (infer) the pronunciation of words in Proto-Indo-European? The next instalment of my sprawling web pages on this question focusses on fricatives and frictionless continants (basically, r and l):
