Lars Johanson
Lars Johanson is a Swedish Turcologist and linguist, professor at the University of Mainz, Germany, and affiliated with the Department of Linguistics and Philology, University of Uppsala, Sweden.
He has been instrumental in transforming the field of Turcology, which was traditionally more philologically oriented, into a linguistic discipline. Apart from his contributions to Turcology, LarsJohanson made a number of pioneering contributions to general linguistics and language typology, in particular to the typology of tense, aspect and modality systems and the theory of language contact.
In the period of 1966–2024 he has published about 500 titles, books and scholarly articles. His most important books include Aspekt im Türkischen (Viewpoint aspect in Turkish), published in 1971, and Structural factors in Turkic language contacts, published in 2002. His recent publication, Turkic (Cambridge University Press 2021), constitutes a monumental thousand-page survey of all the Turkic languages in their synchronic, diachronic, typological, areal and cultural dimensions. He is the Chief Editor of Encyclopedia of Turkic Languages and Linguistics Online, published in 2022 by Brill. In 2022 he and Éva Á. Csató published the second revised edition of the standard reference book The Turkic Language (Routledge).
He has numerous publications also on Turkish literature. See his recently published book in Swedish Om min penna ägde kraften … En blick tillbaka på turkisk litteratur och kultur Swedish Research Institute in Istanbul, 2024.
He is the editor-in-chief of the journal Turkic Language.
