Elisabet Engdahl Elected to Swedish Academy of Letters
Elisabet Engdahl (1980 UMass Amherst Linguistics PhD) has been elected to the Swedish Academy of Letters. Via Barbara Partee, we've learned that the Academy was founded in 1743 by the Swedish queen Lovisa Ulrika, sister of Friedrich the First of Prussia and that it is older than the Swedish Academy (which hands out Nobels).
[Thanks Barbara!]
