This month, two eminent typologists are celebrating special
birthdays:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_Hag%C3%A8ge">Claude
Hagège</a> (*1936-01-01) is celebrating his 80th birthday. Among
many other things, Claude coined the term "logophoric pronoun"
(1974) and wrote the book "Adpositions" (2010).<br>
<br>
<a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ekkehard_K%C3%B6nig">Ekkehard
König</a> (*1941-01-15) is celebrating his 75th birthday. Among
many other things, Ekkehard was the project director of the ESF's
EUROTYP project (1990-1994) that gave the impetus for founding the
Association of Linguistic Typology in 1994-1995.<br>
<br>
Happy birthday!<br>
