Dear Friends of AsiaLex:
It
sadde
ns me to
share with you
the news
that Adam Kilgarriff passed away on 16 May. The news was posted by his
wife on his blog,
https://blog.kilgarriff.co.uk/?p=147
You can also read his las blog here
https://blog.kilgarriff.co.uk/?p=127
Adam has been
a regular contributor
to AsiaLex
conferences and had a lot of collaborators in Asia. His most recent
contributions
includ
e
a keynote speech at the last AsiaLex in Bali in
Aug.
2013, and an important article 'The Sketch Engine: ten year on' to the
inaugural issue of Lexicography
in 2014
.
In fact, these may even be among the last major academic activities in
his life.
I will be delivering a keynote speech in Bali in two days (at PACLING)
and will dedicate the talk to him
.
I
will
also
be thinking of
him and
our last meeting and discussion
here at the Bali Dynasty Hotel less than two years ago
.
