With great sadness, we report the death of Anthony (Tony) Kroch, Professor
Emeritus of Linguistics at the University of Pennsylvania. An obituary has
appeared in the New York Times.

A more detailed acknowledgement of Tony's academic career and his
contributions to the field of linguistics will be appearing in due course in
Language Variation and Change, the journal that Tony co-founded with William
Labov and David Sankoff in 1989.  The text is posted, with permission, on the
