Antonina Koval' mainly worked on the Pulaar-Fulfulde language. Since 1971, she was a researcher at the Dept. of African Languages of the Moscow Institute of Linguistics, RAS. (See http://iling-ran.ru/main/scholars/koval for details.)

Her passing away is a great personal and professional loss to all of us.
