From 1897 he was professor at the University of Leipzig. He put forward his research findings in 1896 on the relationship between the prefix and tones in the Sino-Tibetan languages, in the work Eine Indo-Chinesische causative-Denominativ-Bildung und ihr Zusammenhang mit den Tonaccenten (1896). In 1916 he put forward the theory of an original relationship between Austric and Sino-Tibetan languages.
