In memoriam: Sasha Vovin (1961\u20132022)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
On April 8, 2022, we received the sad news that Alexander (Sasha) Vovin passed away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was one of the greatest linguists and Japanologists of all time. His meticulous philological work on Western and Eastern Old Japanese texts, including monographic releases on Man\u2019y<\/em>\u014d<\/em>sh<\/em>\u016b<\/em> (ten volumes published to date) and Bussokuseki-no Uta <\/em>(2021), has served as milestones in the study of Japanese language history, and so has his descriptive and comparative work on Japonic languages and beyond. It resulted in his foundational works, including, among dozens of others, Descriptive and Comparative Grammar of Western Old Japanese<\/em> (2004\/2009, enlarged and revised second edition 2020), Koreo-Japonica. A Re-evaluation of a Common Genetic Origin <\/em>(2010), and The Eastern Old Japanese Corpus and Dictionary<\/em> (2021, co-authored with his wife, Sambi Ishisaki-Vovin). He was a leading expert on the history of languages of Central and East Asia \u2013 not only Japonic but also Ainu, Koreanic, Tungusic, Mongolic, and Turkic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDespite all his achievements and extraordinary intellectual potential, Sasha was also an exceptionally open, generous, and down-to-earth person. He would go out of his way to help his fellow scholars and made a point of assisting and promoting in every possible way the junior researchers whose potential he believed in \u2013 a virtue I myself have benefited from greatly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
His passing is an irreplaceable loss to all academia, and he is already greatly missed. He will be remembered for his tireless dedication to research, his inexhaustible energy for new projects and new areas to study, his scholarly boldness, and his one-of-a-kind sense of humor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also extend our thoughts and condolences to Sasha\u2019s grief-struck loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting from the Fasc. 66\/Winter 2021, Silva <\/em>will change its publication frequency from quarterly to biannual.
