GRASSROOTS PHILOLOGY FOR A TOP DIPLOMAT –
a lecture by Prof. Birgit Schlyter, Stockholm, on the life and career of Gunnar Jarring (1907-2002), delivered on 4 April, 2019, at Nordic Centre in India, New Delhi, as

”The 7th Whabiz Merchant Memorial Lecture”

From the lecture:
“As a diplomat, Gunnar Jarring climbed to the top. As a scholar, he remained at the grassroots. [... ...]
Scientifically, Jarring was a conservative philologist, faithful to what he had learnt and developed as a graduate student at the University of Lund in the 1930s. On the other hand, in his attitude and approach to language and, more generally speaking, to research in the humanities, he was in many respects ahead of his time. Thus, the scholar we have before us is an analytically conservative philologist but a methodologically pioneering language researcher.”
