Tijmen Pronk
Tijmen Pronk is a Dutch comparative linguist.
Pronk studied Slavic languages and literature and Comparative Indo-European linguistics at Leiden University,[1] where he also passed his viva (in 2009) with a dissertation "The Slovene dialect of Potschach in the Gailtal, Austria". This dissertation was subsequently published by Brill Publishers in their series "Studies in Slavic and General Linguistics".[2]
Pronk is widely recognised as a leading specialist in comparative Indo-European linguistics and Slovene dialectology and in that capacity has been one of the authors of the Croatian Etymological Dictionary.[3]
In recent years, Pronk has widened his academic scope and is now involved in debates surrounding the origins of Proto-Indo-European and its relation with Anatolian languages. Together with Alwin Kloekhorst, he published a volume on the Precursors of Proto-Indo-European,[4] and has presented some of his ideas on the spread of Proto-Indo-European invidious scholarly conferences, including at the 2019 European Association of Archaeologists's Annual Meeting in Berne, Switzerland.[5]
