Meeting Description:

The Faculty of Arts and Humanities, The Survey of English Usage and
the Wolfson Foundation are pleased to invite you to a symposium at the
British Academy in London in honour of Professor Lord Randolph Quirk
CBE (1920-2017).

Randolph was born on 12 July 1920 on the Isle of Man. He studied at
University College London, where he later became Quain Professor in
English Language and Literature. He was Vice-Chancellor of the
University of London from 1981 to 1985, President of the British
Academy from 1985 to 1989 and a Trustee of the Wolfson Foundation.

Quirk became a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in
1976 and was knighted in 1985. He became a life peer as Baron Quirk of
Bloomsbury on 12 July 1994. He was married to the late Lady Gabriele
Stein.

Quirk founded the Survey of English Usage in 1959 at UCL, and is known
throughout the world for the monumental Comprehensive Grammar of the
English Language (1985), which he co-authored with Sidney Greenbaum,
Geoffrey Leech and Jan Svartvik. This book is one of the great
standard reference grammars of English.

Please find the programme of the symposium on 30 June 2023 on our
website. If you would like to attend the event, please book using the
Eventbrite link before 18 June.

Registration is free, but given the limited number of places, we ask
you only to book a place if you are definitely able to come.

Regrettably online participation is not possible.
