Ian was such an inspirational mentor to me, both academically and athletically. He was always so sweet and so English. He will be greatly missed.
Andrew Garrett@andrewgarrett.bsky.social · 2y agoI am very sad to learn of the death of Ian Maddieson (on Sunday, Feb. 2). He was a creative thinker, an inspiring linguist, and a wonderful colleague who made a big difference to me intellectually and personally.

“am not arguing that the humanities should adopt scientific norms, but that they should have the financial means to complement, contest, or rival science in explaining people, societies, and cultures. To do this properly today, they need a step-function increase in funding.”
