Readers of LINGUIST may not have heard of the sudden death on 6  September 2007
of Richard Hogg, Smith Professor of English Language and Medieval Literature at
the University of Manchester.  Richard was the General Editor of The Cambridge
History of the English Language (6 vols, 1992-2001) and well known for his work
on Old English, on phonology, and on English dialects.  He is much missed by his
many friends and colleagues.  An obituary by Nigel Vincent in The Guardian can
