Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the publication of a collection of articles in memory of Alexandra (Sasha) Vydrina, a brilliant, in many ways accomplished linguist who tragically died at the young age of 33. The volume begins with two tribute pieces. The second section contains three previously unpublished manuscripts by Sasha, as well as a list of her publications. The final section is an assemblage of fourteen pieces dedicated to Sasha, inspired by her, and written on topics tightly or loosely connected to her areas of inquiry.

The entire book is available open access through this link.
