Life
Pompeu Fabra was born in Grà cia, which at that time was still separate from Barcelona, in 1868. He was the last of twelve children born to Josep Fabra i Roca and his wife Carolina Poch i MartÃ. When Pompeu was six, the family moved to Barcelona.From a fairly young age Fabra dedicated himself to the study of the Catalan language.{{sfn|The Architect of Modern Catalan}} Through the journal and publishing house {{interlanguage link|Tipografia de L'Avenç|wd=Q11951928}}, he participated in a campaign to reform Catalan orthography between 1890â92. He published Tractat d'ortografia catalana with the writer and publisher {{interlanguage link|Jaume Massó i Torrents|wd=Q11927313}} and {{interlanguage link|Joaquim Casas i Carbó|wd=Q11928079}}, a notable lawyer and writer, in 1904.Despite his personal interest in linguistics, Fabra studied industrial engineering in Barcelona and in 1902 accepted a chair of chemistry position at the School of Engineering in Bilbao.{{sfn|The Architect of Modern Catalan}} During his tenure in Bilbao, Fabra participated actively in the First International Congress of the Catalan Language held in 1906. This event gave him a certain prestige in the field of Catalan linguistics. In 1911, he returned to Barcelona to become a professor (catedrà tic) of Catalan — a position created by the diputació (local government) of Barcelona — and a member of the department of philology at the newly created Institut d'Estudis Catalans, of which he would later become president. In 1912 he published his Gramática de la lengua catalana (in Spanish).The Institute published the Normes ortogrà fiques in 1913, the Diccionari ortogrà fic in 1917, and its official Gramà tica catalana in 1918.{{sfn|The Architect of Modern Catalan}} That same year, Fabra also edited the textbook Curs mitjà de gramà tica catalana, published by l'Associació Protectora de l'Ensenyança Catalana. His "Converses filològiques," first published in the newspaper "La Publicitat," were later collected as "Popular Barcino." Probably his most famous work was the Diccionari General de la Llengua Catalana (1932), the first edition of which later became the Institute's official dictionary.missing image!

In 1932, owing to his scientific prestige, he was unanimously named a professor (catedrà tic) of the Republican Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (not to be confused with the later Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona created in the 1960s during the Francoist régime). The following year he was named President of the University's governing council, which resulted in his imprisonment in 1934 following the "events of 6 October" when troops of the Second Spanish Republic put down a Catalan government uprising led by Lluis Companys.{{sfn|The Architect of Modern Catalan}}Fabra was reinstated to his faculty position after the elections of February 1936, but the Spanish Civil War began in July of that year, and he had to flee his country when Barcelona was being invaded by the Francoist army. By 1939 he was in exile in France where he endured many hardships. He lived in Paris and Montpellier, where he presided over the Jocs Florals literary competition in 1946. He eventually moved to Prada de Conflent in the Catalan-speaking area of France, where he died on 25 December 1948. At some point during the exile, he made his will in Andorra, so that it would be done in a country where Catalan was the official language.{{sfn|The Architect of Modern Catalan}}- Selva fabra varela.jpg -
