We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Professor Ranko Bugarski, a distinguished linguist and a towering figure in the field of linguistics. Professor Bugarski dedicated his life to the study of language, culture, and communication, contributing profoundly to our understanding of language policy and the dynamics of multilingual societies.
Beyond his academic achievements, Professor Bugarski was known for his kindness, humility, and unwavering commitment to the pursuit of knowledge. He will be remembered not only as a brilliant scholar but also as a mentor, colleague, and friend to many. His legacy will continue to influence and guide us, and he will be sorely missed.
