<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Dear critical scholars,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I was asked to deliver the sad news about the Shoshana
Blum-Kulka, who passed away two weeks ago after a long battle with cancer.
To those of you who are not familiar with her outstanding contribution to
discourse studies, I attach an entry about her unique life and achievements,
published not long ago in the Encyclopedia of Applied
Linguistics.</FONT></DIV>
