Jan Niecisław Ignacy Baudouin de Courtenay (13 March 1845 – 3 November 1929) was a Polish linguist and Slavist, best known for his theory of the phoneme and phonetic alternations. Professor at the universities of Kazan, Tartu, Cracow, Saint Petersburg (where he was known as Ivan Aleksandrovich Boduen de Kurtene), and Warsaw, Baudouin de Courtenay created and elaborated the theory of phonemics in linguistics and founded the psychological (the so-called Kazan) school of linguistics.
