Charles J. Fillmore (1929-2014)

The Department of Linguistics mourns the loss of Charles Fillmore, who died on February 13 after a struggle with cancer. He was a gifted teacher, a beloved mentor, a treasured colleague and friend, and one of the great linguists of the last half-century. Our hearts go out to Lily Wong Fillmore and to all Chuck and Lily's family.
