It is with great sadness that I announce the death of Professor
Beatrice Warren, Lund University, Sweden.

Beatrice was born on 7 October 1942 in Uddevalla in Sweden and died in
Sankt Olof on 23 July 2024.  She is well known for her work on various
aspects of lexical semantics and wrote several books and articles that
have received a great deal of attention such as Classifying adjectives
(1984), Sense developments - A contrastive study of the development of
slang senses and novel standard senses in English (1992) and
Referential metonymy (2006). Apart from her work on these topics, she
is known for her work on how words combine in text construction,
published with the title The idiom principle and the open choice
principle (2000).

Beatrice was a dedicated scholar who served the field on many levels
and was a great source of inspiration for her students and colleagues.
In addition to her professional work, she was also a keen gardener.
She had a fantastic garden and was the queen of flowers, bushes and
trees. Here is her and her husband Richard’s website
