Jeremy Rau received his PhD from Cornell University in
2003, and holds a joint appointment in the Departments of Linguistics and the
Classics. His research concentrates primarily
on Greek and Latin linguistics,
Greek Dialects, Mycenaean, the Homeric Kunstsprache, and Archaic Latin and the
Italic dialects but also includes the Indo-European language family more
generally, especially Indo-Iranian, Anatolian and the nominal morphology of
Proto-Indo-European. His current projects include a treatment of various
aspects of Greek and Indo-European word-formation, and a study of how the
constraints of oral composition influenced the creation of the Homeric poetic
language.
