Aleksandar Belić (Serbian Cyrillic: Александар Белић, pronounced [aleksǎːndar běːlitɕ]; 15 August 1876 – 26 February 1960) was a Serbian linguist[1] and academic.[2]
Biography
Belić was born in
Serbian Academy of Sciences.[1] His membership lasted between 1937 and 1960 with the interruption in the 1941-1944 period of the Axis occupation of Serbia when he was suspended.[3]
Belić is generally considered the leading Serbian linguist of the first half of the twentieth century. His research dealt with comparative Slavic studies, general linguistics,
Proto-Slavic *tj and *dj, which was first published in Stanojević's Narodna enciklopedija srpsko-hrvatsko-slovenačka (Serbo-Croatian-Slovene National Encyclopedia, 1927), although disproved by later dialectology studies. He contributed to the acceptance of the so-called Belgrade style of standard Serbian. During his entire life he was a consistent advocate of a unified Serbo-Croatian language.[1]
Belić's collected works have been published in 14 volumes in 1999. He died in Belgrade.
