Himalayan Linguistics, Vol 10(1) Field report Plural marking in Dolpo Tibetan: A preliminary investigation ....................................................... 291 Kevin A.

Handbook of descriptive linguistic fieldwork .................................................................................. 299 Reviewed by Henrik Bergqvist viii
Editors’ Introduction This issue of Himalayan Linguistics (10.1) is dedicated to the memory of two well-known, wellrespected, and well-loved colleagues in the field of Himalayan linguistics: Michael (‘Mickey’) Noonan and David Watters. Mickey passed away on February 23, 2009 and David passed away less than three months later on May 18, 2009. Both men were Associate Editors of Himalayan Linguistics at the time of their passing; both have had profound and lasting impacts on the field. It is fitting that this single issue of Himalayan Linguistics pays tribute to Mickey and David simultaneously because of the parallels and complementary paths of their work. These two men dedicated the greater portion of their academic careers, and their lives, to research and scholarship on languages of the greater Himalayan region. They also contributed greatly to typological and theoretical discussions in the broader field of linguistics. The editors of this issue would like to introduce its special significance with some notes on select aspects of the professional lives and accomplishments of both men. Mickey Noonan received his PhD in Linguistics at UCLA in 1981. He held positions at both the State University of New York in Buffalo and California State University in Los Angeles before joining the Department of English at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 1986. From an early stage his research was oriented towards fieldwork, documentation, and typology. It included a published grammar of Lango (Western Nilotic, with Mouton de Gruyter in 1992). The 1990’s marked his entrance into Tibeto-Burman documentation and scholarship, beginning with work on Chantyal and Nar-Phu. As a fieldworker, Mickey was vocal in his belief that language documentation should follow principles of comprehensiveness and respect for capturing all details of the language, including the often-untidy variation that marks a system in-use by a living speech community: The goal of a descriptive grammar is an accurate and complete description of a language, or more usually, a variety of a language. With all due concessions to what is practically possible, it reflects actual usage...the goal of a descriptive grammar should always be fidelity to community usage in all of its messiness and inconsistency. (2008: 5, 10-11) Mickey also recognized the all-too-frequent second-shelf status that documentation efforts and publications can be relegated to within the context of contemporary linguistic theories, and he regularly advocated for the raised status of this kind of work in the discipline because it is, quite simply, urgently necessary to do so: “...We are engaged in a race against time [and against war, poverty, and the good and bad effects of globalization] to preserve as much of the world’s linguistic heritage as possible. In running this race, we face, among others, the following three major obstacles: the standard of grammar writing is not uniformly high, there is not a lot of funding to support grammar writing, and the profession does not sufficiently value or support the writing of grammars. (2006: 352)
