W. Sidney Allen
Résumé
William Sidney Allen, (1918–2004), was a British linguist and philologist, best known for his work on Indo-European phonology.
Early life and undergraduate education
Allen was born in north London, the elder son of William Percy Allen, a maintenance engineer in a printing works, and Ethel Pierce, the daughter of a compositor. From childhood, he was primarily known as 'Sidney', to avoid confusion with his father.
After a year at private school, Allen was educated at a local council school before attending Christ's Hospital on a scholarship. On the advice of his form master, Derrick Macnutt (a fellow Classicist, better known as the crossword compiler 'Ximenes'), he sat the entrance exam to read Classics at Trinity College, Cambridge in 1937, and was awarded a major scholarship. As an undergraduate at Trinity, his teachers included Harold Walter Bailey, professor of Sanskrit, and N. B. Jopson, later president of the Philological Society.
