Extract

At the XIIth International Congress of Phonetic Sciences held in Aix-en-Provence (19–24 August 1991), Professor Peter Ladefoged was presented with a Gold Medal, jointly offered by the International Organizing Committee of the Congress, the International Phonetic Association, and the International Society of Phonetic Sciences, in recognition of his contribution to the subject of phonetics over the forty years of his career to date. Professor Mario Rossi, as the President of the International Organizing Committee of the Congress, asked me to say a few words at the banquet in Peter Ladefoged's honor. This article is intended to give an expanded version of those comments a more permanent form, and to bring an appreciation of his outstanding contribution to a wider audience.
