"William Labov, known far and wide as one of the most influential linguists of the 20th and 21st centuries, passed away this morning at the age of 97." https://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=67399 #sociolinguistics
On learning this, I decided to re-read Labov's short essay "How I got into linguistics, and what I got out of it" (http://danielezrajohnson.com/labov_howigot.pdf). I will be recommending it to my M.A. students who are interested in doing a #PhD in #linguistics.
