It is with great regret that the Department of Linguistics at YaleUniversity has learned of the death of Prof. Samuel E. Martin, adistinguished emeritus member of our faculty, on November 28, 2009, at hishome in Vancouver, Washington after a long illness. Prof. Martin retiredfrom Yale in 1994 after more than 40 years in the departments ofLinguistics and East Asian Languages. He was also a fellow of TimothyDwight College at Yale and a member of Manuscript. He was quite prominentin his field of Japanese and Korean Linguistics, and received significantawards from the governments of Korea and Japan for his work.
A fuller appreciation of Prof. Martin's life and career will follow at alater date.
