Afterwards he got a grant and went to Leuven and Zurich, where he met some of the most prestigious European romanists, such as dialectologist Sever Pop (1901–1961), author of La dialectologie.[2] The Swiss philologist Walther von Wartburg proposed him as a lecturer of Spanish in the University of Basel, where he remained. Since then, he was promoted gradually: Privat-Dozent since 1959, university teacher in 1963, and professor since 1967. After 1997, he became professor emeritus. He was at the same time a teacher at the University of Strasbourg (from 1968 to 1972) and the Autonomous University of Barcelona (1973–74).[citation needed]

He joined as a member of the consultant board of the Els Nostres Clàssics collection and the editorial staff of the magazine Estudis de Llengua i Literatura Catalanes.[citation needed]
He had been an honorary consultant of the International Association of Catalan Language and Literature (he was president from 1976 to 1982) and member of the Institute of Catalan Studies. He received the Sanchis Guarner prize, that was given by the Jaume I Foundation (1987), the Honorary Prize of the Valencian Letters (1988), the Prat de la Riba prize (given by the) IEC (1979), the Serra d'Or prize (1981), the Creu de Sant Jordi (1985) and the Literature Prize of the Generalitat de Catalunya (1987). In 1999, he received also the Gran Cruz de Alfonso X el Sabio.[citation needed]
