Dag Trygve Truslew Haug (born April 17, 1976) is a Norwegian linguist and associate professor of Latin at the University of Oslo.
Dag Haug attended a French high school before he began studying at the University of Oslo, and he received his master's degree in 1996. He majored in Greek in 1998 and was then a research fellow. In 2001 he received his doctorate with a thesis on the language of the Iliad,[1] and then carried out research until 2003 at the University of Freiburg. Since then he has been at the University of Oslo, first as a postdoctoral fellow, and since 2005 as an associate professor.
Haug's research has focused on classical Greek and Latin. Recently he has also begun to focus more on Indo-European linguistics, studying the relationships between the various Indo-European languages and their history.[1] He is the head of the PROIEL (Pragmatic Resources in Old Indo-European Languages) project at the University of Oslo.[2]
Haug received the Norwegian Royal Gold Medal for young researchers in 2002 for his dissertation, and he won the Nils Klim Prize in 2005.[3]
