Ilse Lehiste

[E Wayles Browne]

Prof. Ilse Lehiste, Professor Emeritus at the Ohio State University, died on Christmas Day in Columbus, Ohio.
Her loss will be greatly regretted by colleagues in many fields.
Born in Estonia in 1922, she studied in Germany and the United States, and made notable contributions to experimental phonetics, Serbo-Croatian studies (in a long series of collaborations with the late Pavle Ivić), language contact studies, Finno-Ugric studies, and the linguistic study of folk and cultivated poetry.

A longer notice by former OSU Linguistics colleague Arnold Zwicky has already appeared on Language Log:
