Lex Teeter

Lex Teeter, Anglice Teeter's Law est adagium de tractatione linguisticae historicae:

Lingua familiae quam optime scis antiquissima semper evenit.Anglice: "The language of the family you know best always turns out to be the most archaic." (Watkins 1976:310).

Lex, quamquam ex Carolo Teeter, linguista linguarum vernacularum Americarum appellatur, in Teeteranis operibus prolatis adesse non videtur.Hock 2007:275.

Calvert Watkins, linguista linguarum Proto-Indo-Europaearum hanc legem anno 1976 in recognitione libri Proto-Indo-European Syntax: The Order of Meaningful Elements, commentarii critici a Paulo Friedrich scripti, citavit. Watkins arguit syntacticam reconstructionem Friedrichianam omnino in lingua Graeca Homerica conditam esse.Watkins 1976:310.
