摘要
The Romanist Hugo Schuchardt is best known today for his contributions to the study of language contact, language mixing and creole languages. Less well known are the theoretical requirements of such research, which Schuchardt established early in his career. This article uses Schuchardt's 1870 proof lecture "On the classification of Romance dialects" to point out the central theoretical lines and arguments that have crystallisation points in the critique of the genetic tree model and the search for alternatives, as well as a hitherto unknown but indispensable model for Schuchardt's linguistic worldview in the ideas of the American linguist William D. Whitney.
