[Corpora-List] father Roberto Busa

Thu Aug 11 21:47:37 UTC 2011

Dear all,

it is my sad duty to announce that father Roberto Busa SJ passed away on 9 August at the age of 97.
He gave his last talk at a conference less than 2 years ago (ninth edition of the Treebanks and Linguistic Theories Workshop, Milan).

I feel so lucky for having met him in my life and for working every day on the "Index Thomisticus".
The field of corpus and computational linguistics lost one of his pioneers. We will all miss him so much.

Marco
