From The Editor

Abstract

This issue of JSL, which completes volume 24, includes four stimulating articles about diverse Slavic-linguistic topics, as well as three very useful reviews of recent books likely to be of interest to our readers. It also contains two In Memoriam pieces, marking the sad passing of our venerated colleagues Dean Worth of UCLA and Charles Gribble of Ohio State. Both of these individuals played major roles in strengthening our discipline in the United States. Their impact as scholars and their personal dedication as editors and publishers have been inestimable.
