RIP Bob Bayley

RIP Bob Bayley

Robert Bayley Portrait 

We are so sad to learn that Dr. Robert Bayley, Professor Emeritus of Linguistics, UC Davis, and an associate member of the Centre for Research on Language Contact at York University in Toronto, died this week (Dec. 29, 2024). 

He made many important contributions in documenting language variation, particularly in bilingual and second language populations, including co-editing The Oxford Handbook of Sociolinguistics.

Many of his will remember him for a visit to our Department in 2022 as part of our department's UTQAP review. As always, he was generous with his time and knowledge.

He will be deeply missed.  Tributes are collecting here: https://www.weremember.com/robert-bayley/0b4p/memories. Feel free to add yours!
