Dear colleagues,


The German Linguist Brigitte Schlieben Lange has died

(Tübingen/Massenheim, september 14th, 2000). 56 year old German Romance
Linguist Brigitte Schlieben-Lange has died  on september 14th at her home
close to Frankfurt/Main, victim of a cancer she had suffered from for about
a year.
Brigitte Schlieben-Lange, author of a large number of books and articles,
occupied, since 1991, the chair of Romance Philology at The University of
Tübingen (South Germany). She was born in 1943 close to Munich and spent her
youth in the capital of Bavaria. As a disciple of Eugenio Coseriu, she
studied at Munich, Tübingen and Aix-en-Provence and became assistent
professor at the University of Freiburg in 1970. At the age of 31, in 1974,
she was called to occupy the chair of Romance Linguistics at the University
of Frankfurt/Main and in 1991 she became the successor of Eugenio Coseriu at
Tübingen University.
Her main research subjects were sociolinguistics, pragmatics, historical
linguistics and historiography of linguistics. Some of her most important
books, among others, Soziolinguistik (1973), Linguistische Pragmatik (1975),
Traditionen des Sprechens. Elemente einer pragmatischen
Sprachgeschichtsschreibung (1983) and Idéologie, révolution et uniformité de
la langue (1996), were translated into several languages. Her Traditionen
des Sprechens (1983) was an important startpoint for numerous studies among
German scholars and abroad on historical pragmatics and on orality and
literacy. One of her most favourite research fields was the impact of the
Enlightenment and the French Revolution on linguistic thought.
Her death is an indescribable personal and scientific loss for Tübingen
University, for her colleagues and disciples and for the whole scientific
community.
