| | Linguistics. |
 | | The graduate Program in Linguistics, established in 1962, was built on a tradition that goes back to the first half of this century, when Harold H. Bender taught Indo-European philology, and Robert K. Root taught the Elements of the English Language (better known as ``Root's roots''). | | | Though most members of the Interdepartmental Committee on Linguistics are known primarily for their work in related fields, two members have received national and international recognition directly within the field of linguistics. | | | Marckwardt was president of the Linguistic Society of America in 1962, and of the American Dialect Society in 1962-1964. |

Miller). |
