- Jespersen, (Jens) Otto (Harry)
(16 jul. 1860, Randers, Dinamarca–30 abr. 1943, Roskilde).
Lingüista danés. Encabezó un movimiento que se basaba en la enseñanza de las lenguas extranjeras en el habla propia de la conversación más que en textos de estudio de gramática y vocabulario, lo que contribuyó a revolucionar la enseñanza de las lenguas en Europa. Jespersen, que era una autoridad en gramática inglesa, aportó de manera significativa al desarrollo de la fonética y la teoría lingüística. Entre sus muchas publicaciones se cuentan
Modern English Grammar [Gramática inglesa moderna], 7 vols. (1909–49),
Language: Its Nature, Development and Origin [El lenguaje: su naturaleza, desarrollo y origen] (1922),
y The Philosophy of Grammar [La filosofía de la gramática] (
1924). Creó además el novial, lengua internacional.
