Linguist Geoffrey Nunberg, 75, died yesterday. Nunberg was one of the leading public voices in the field of linguistics. He was, perhaps, best known for being a regular commentator about language since 1988 on NPR’s Fresh Air. But he was also the author of many popular books and scholarly articles in the field.
You can read Mark Liberman’s remarks about him on Language Log.
His Google Scholar page lists his publications.
And a sampling of his Fresh Air pieces is here.
He will be missed.
