Biography
In 1951-1958 studied at Colliers Grammar School, where he studied classical and foreign languages.
In 1958 he entered the University of Southampton in the Department of Classical Languages (Latin and Ancient Greek). At the end of the year, he taught these languages at a Catholic boarding school. In 1963 he married.
In 1968 he moved to Newport (Wales), where he headed the department of classical languages at the school ( en: comprehensive school ).
In 1980, the teaching of classical languages at the school was discontinued, but since by that time his wife had received a position in another school in the city, and he himself in the neighboring town of Cumbran (Cwmbran), they abandoned the plans for relocation.
Since 1975, he began to prepare a master's thesis at the University of Birmingham on the problem of pre-Greek substrate . In 1982, she was defended, and in 1985 published in the Netherlands as a separate book.
Since the 1980s specializes in programming and computer science.
Research
Brown's views are to a large extent a critical development of the earlier works of such researchers as A. Hoibek , F. Kuiper , J. Hubschmid, E. Fürne , R. Beekes (the latter, in turn, actively supported and developed Brown's ideas). Brown subjected the critical analysis to the ideas of V. Georgiev , popular at that time in the post-Soviet space.
