In the March 2007 Editor’s Department ( ‘Paying tribute’, Language 83.1.5–7), a putatively exhaustive listing of all of the issues and volumes of Language that had been dedicated to a particular individual or event was given.

60 (1984): to the memory of Edward Sapir, on the 100th anniversary of his birth, and the 60th anniversary of the Society which he helped to found

There is a full-page photograph of Sapir on the page facing the dedication. The total number of dedicated issues and volumes is thus now seventeen: the fourteen listed in ‘Paying tribute’, this additional one listed here, the issue dedicated to Peter Ladefoged (Language 83.1, the impetus for collecting the list of past dedications), and now the present issue with its dedication to Bill Bright.
