Guus J. Kroonen is a Dutch historical linguist specializing in Indo-European studies. He is an associate professor at the Leiden University Centre for Linguistics (LUCL) and a Professor with Special Responsibilities (MSO) at the University of Copenhagen.[1][2] He is the author of Etymological Dictionary of Proto-Germanic (Brill, 2013), which has been reviewed in the peer-reviewed journal Diachronica.[3][4]
Career
[edit | edit source]Kroonen holds MAs from Leiden University (Comparative Indo-European Linguistics) and the University of Amsterdam (Scandinavian Languages and Literatures). He completed his PhD at Leiden University and has held research and teaching posts at Leiden and Copenhagen.[1][2] His PhD supervisor was Sasha Lubotsky, who also supervised the Indo-European Etymological Dictionary project[5] to which Kroonen later contributed the Proto-Germanic volume.
He has led or collaborated on interdisciplinary projects in archaeolinguistics and linguistic prehistory, including the ERC Starting Grant project The Linguistic Roots of Europe’s Agricultural Transition.[1][2]
Research
[edit | edit source]Kroonen’s research focuses on Germanic and Indo-European historical linguistics, etymology, and prehistoric language contact.[2] He has argued for an 'agricultural substrate' component in Proto-Germanic—non-Indo-European lexical elements related to early farming—set out in a frequently cited chapter on non-Indo-European root nouns in Germanic.[6]

Reception
[edit | edit source]Etymological Dictionary of Proto-Germanic received a substantive review in Diachronica[7] noting its breadth within the Leiden Indo-European Etymological Dictionary series.[4] This is a series of texts, by a team of authors centred around Leiden, and intended as an updated replacement for Indogermanisches etymologisches Wörterbuch, Pokorny (1959).[4]
