William H. Baxter (born March 3, 1949) is a professor in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures and the Department of Linguistics at the University of Michigan. His specialty is the history of the Chinese language. He earned his Ph.D. in Linguistics in 1977 at Cornell University.〔(Curriculum Vitae ), William H. Baxter.〕 Baxter's ''A Handbook of Old Chinese Phonology'' is the standard reference for the reconstruction of Old Chinese, i.e. the language of the pre-Qin period. Together with Laurent Sagart at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Paris he has produced an improved reconstruction of the pronunciation, vocabulary, and morphology of Old Chinese. A reconstruction for nearly 5000 words has been published online. ==Publications== * *(2012) Sagart, Laurent, and William H. Baxter. 2012. Reconstructing the *s- prefix in Old Chinese.
