How did Ellen Price pass away? Jmartinez4316 (talk) 23:13, 31 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

In the references linking to obituaries it is said she died of cancer.CA108017 (talk) 09:06, 1 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

The reference linking to Yiddish linguistic homepage needs to be either deleted or changed as it directs to a blank page with no working links.CA108017 (talk) 09:06, 1 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

If Prince was so influential to the field of semantics/pragmatics, why are her areas of expertise mentioned in such brevity in her Wiki article (namely "pragmatic functions of syntactic constructions in English and Yiddish" and "typology of information statuses in discourse")? There is surely an ample supply of her works available (as evidenced by following citations 2 and 3) such that the article could provide more detail on what exactly her influential contributions in these areas consisted of, and more of a discussion of these areas. In the same vein, only five of her academic publications are listed under "Selected Publications", which seems a bit short. Alena b (talk) 20:25, 3 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

Ellen Prince as stated is well-known for her typology of information statuses in discourse, Can you provide some examples or names of the typology information in discourse, if it has been disclosed is this her most well known example?

Where it says "Her research contributed largely to pragmatic borrowing, syntax and discourse functioning, and centering theory," could be certain topics to discuss further in this article. Adding sections would help readers understand more about Prince's work rather than just the basics of her focus. Rachaelpurifoy (talk) 21:11, 5 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
