Lucien Tesnière (French: [lysjɛ̃ tɛnjɛʁ]; May 13 1893 – December 6 1954) was a prominent and influential French linguist. He was born in Mont-Saint-Aignan on May 13 1893. As a professor in Strasbourg (1924) and later in Montpellier (1937) he published many papers and books on Slavic languages. However his importance in the history of linguistics is based mainly on his development of an approach to the syntax of natural languages that would become known as dependency grammar.
