Karl Jaberg

Karl Jaberg (4 April 1877, in Langenthal – 30 May 1958, in Bern) was a Swiss linguist and dialectologist.

He studied Romance philology at the University of Bern, and furthered his education in Paris (1900/01), where his influences included Gaston Paris, Ferdinand Brunot and Jules Gilliéron. From 1901 to 1906 he worked as a teacher at the cantonal school in Aarau. In 1906 he obtained his habilitation at the University of Zürich, and from 1907 to 1945, taught classes in Romance philology and Italian language and literature at the University of Bern. From 1942 to 1948 he was director of the Glossaire des patois de la Suisse romande.[1][2]

gollark: For another thing, as I found out while reading a complaint by mathematicians about the use of Riemann integrals over gauge integrals, if you always take the point to "sample" as the left/right/center of each partition *and* the thing is evenly divided up into partitions, it's actually wrong in some circumstances.
gollark: For one thing, the sum operator is very bee there because it does not appear to be counting integers.
gollark: It's wrong and abuse-of-notationy however.
gollark: And this isn't even *used anywhere* except that one or two of the integration questions use this as an extra layer of indirection.
gollark: The sum there makes no sense, and I'm pretty sure this is actually wrong for some integrals.
