REINHARD R. K. HARTMANN (1938-2024)
We are deeply saddened to inform you that Reinhard R. K. Hartmann passed away on 12 September 2024. Many of us are with the Dictionary of Lexicography (1998), which he co-authored. Some may have had the opportunity to work with him or visit the Dictionary Research Centre (in Exeter and later in Birmingham), where they were able to engage in interdisciplinary consultation on a range of topics related to lexicography.
Of special significance for EURALEX was Reinhard’s instrumental role in organising the LEXeter conference in 1983. This event proved pivotal in the formation of our Association, the International Journal of Lexicography and the book series Lexicographica. Series Maior. In addition to attending and presenting at numerous EURALEX conferences, Reinhard served as EURALEX secretary and fourth president. He made significant contributions to the field of lexicography and was a highly dedicated member of our organization. His presence will be deeply missed.
