Last Wednesday Ernesto d’Andrade passed away.

The co-author of The Phonology of Portuguese (OUP) was one of the  
leading scholars of Portuguese phonology.

Many generations of students have never forgotten a singular teacher,  
who once questioned the role of mediators in knowledge transfer, as  
opposed to direct access to the source of information.

His provocative nature is acknowledged by all. Ernesto was fond of  
being controversial. So much that this often seemed to be an end in  
itself. Unsurprising items: his watch, whose pointers would move  
anticlockwise; one of his major, useful works, the Dicionário Inverso  
‘Reverse Dictionary’ (Edicoes Cosmos).

We recall his look when he was engaged in a conversation: a clever  
expression, semi-closed eyes, stretched along the sides, half a smile,  
in a mouth framed by a moustache and face surrounded by a fairly long  
hair, the ensemble in beautiful shades of grey.
