DESCRIPTION: On 22th August 2023\, our dear colleague Elisabeth de Boer sad
 ly died at the age of 57\, cutting short a promising career in Japanese Hi
 storical Linguistics. Elisabeth was a respected teacher of Japanese and li
 nguistics at the Universities of Leiden and Bochum. Her researched challen
 ged several so-called teisetsu or ‘accepted opinions’ encountered in t
 he field. Among others\, Elisabeth showed that Japanese is better describe
 d as a restricted tone language than as a pitch-accent language\; that Ky
 ōto-type dialects have been less conservative than dialects to their east
  and west and that the commonly accepted binary tree structure of Japonic 
 is in need of revision. Moreover\, Elisabeth did not shy away from interdi
 sciplinary approaches\, integrating linguistic evidence with archaeologica
 l and genetic findings to illuminate ancient population movements across t
 he Japanese Islands.\nSpeaker: Various
