- On June 5, 2012 William Labov was awarded an honorary doctorate by Universitat Pompeu Fabra. I was honored to be able to act as his promoter. Check the news item that appeared on UPF's webpage and UPF's video coverage of the event: summary (ca) (en) (es); full video coverage.
- In 2002 Empúries published Gramàtica del català contemporani, an ambitious project led by Joan Solà (†) and Maria Rosa Lloret, Joan Mascaró and Manuel Pérez Saldanya. Many authors contributed chapter to this three volume overview of the Catalan language; among them, three former Fulbright-La Caixa fellows: Àlex Alsina, Eulàlia Bonet, and myself. This was featured in the December 2002 Newsletter of the Association of "La Caixa" Fellows.

In May 1994 Jonathan Ginzburg and I, with the help of friends in Georgia, organized the "Language and Logic Spring School in Georgia". Gregor Erbach and Tim Fernando also taught in the Spring School. The School was the predecessor of what would later become the Tbilisi Symposium on Language, Logic and Computation. Prof. George Chikoidze, of the Tbilisi Centre for Language, Logic and Speech, wrote about it all in ELSNET's Elsnews 9.1 in Spring 2000 (p. 8-10).
