[Lingtyp] Memorial Elisabeth de Boer

[Robbeets, Martine]

Dear Colleagues,
On 22th August 2023, our dear colleague Prof. Dr. Elisabeth de Boer sadly died at the age of
57, cutting short a promising career in Japanese Historical Linguistics. Now, almost two years after this sad event, we would like to cordially invite you to a workshop in Elisabeth’s memory.

In this workshop, several colleagues including Robert Ramsey, Marshall James Unger, Anna Bugaeva, Riikka Länsisalmi, Tomomi Sato, Thomas Pellard, Bjarke Frellesvig, Sven Osterkamp, Martine Robbeets and Mark Hudson will take a moment to reflect on Elisabeth as a scientist and a person.

We warmly welcome you to attend this event. Participation is free. For registration, please contact Martine Robbeets (robbeets at gea.mpg.de) including your name, affiliation and Email address.

In case you wish to present, please send an abstract of ca. 250 words by 30 June 2025. Ideally each presentation should include a personal account of the relation with Elisabeth, in addition to scientific content building on her research and teaching in Japanese historical linguistics.

In the attachment, I added a description of the workshop in addition to an overview of Elisabeth’s most important publications.

With Elisabeth in our thoughts,
Martine
