<p>Reality hit hard yesterday when I had to change "Michael Agar" to
"Michael Agar (1945-1917) in the draft manuscript of the fourth
edition of "The Anthropology of Language." What an immense loss to
the linguistic anthropology community. And what amazing
contributions we have all benefited from over the years.

appreciate your sharing this with us so much. It is so very
<i>him</i>, starting with who writes their own slightly
witty, self-effacing obituary but Mike Agar? As much as he
taught us, surely he just as consistently made us laugh, and
would be glad to be remembered as someone who did not take
himself too seriously. Of all his work, the one I will
remember the most is his book <i>Independents declared</i>.
It led to a series of wonderful conversations with my uncle,
a long-haul truck driver with whom I had not until then been
able to find much to talk about. When I told Mike later that
his book had led my uncle and me to that most precious human
experience – common ground – he beamed and said it made him
really happy to hear he’d been able to make that happen. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
