The Forbes Chair of English Language is a chair at the University of Edinburgh.[1] It is one of a number of chairs founded in the 1940s following a bequest by East India mechant and Edinburgh alumnus Daniel Mackintosh Forbes.[2] Its original title was the Forbes Chair of English Language and General Linguistics, but with the creation of a separate chair of general linguistics in the 1960s the latter part of the title was dropped, incumbent Angus McIntosh continuing in the role.[1]
