美国时间8月22日晩上，美国加州大学伯克利分校语言学系主任Keith Johnson 教授发布了国际著名语音学家、该系荣休教授John Ohala去世的消息：

The Berkeley Department of Linguistics is saddened  to report that John Ohala has died.  John was an incredibly important person both to Berkeley linguistics and internationally, and to many of us personally.  He was an exceptionally insightful phonetician who never shied from challenging the linguistic status quo, and whose contributions to knowledge were many and far-reaching.

本刊特发表中国社会科学院语言研究所胡方研究员撰写的大百科词条（稿）“欧哈拉”，以悼念John Ohala教授。

欧哈拉

英文条头：John J. Ohala学科主编：刘丹青分支学科：语音学分支主编：石锋、李爱军  全名约翰•杰罗姆•欧哈拉（John Jerome Ohala，1941.7.19～2020.8.22)，美国加州大学伯克利分校语言学系荣休教授，国际著名语音学家、音系学家，国际语音学会（IPA）主席（1995—1999）。 欧哈拉1941年7月19日出生于芝加哥，1969年毕业于洛杉矶加州大学，师从赖福吉教授，获博士学位。1970年起任教于伯克利加州大学语言学系，加入由王士元创建的音系实验室（Phonology Lab），1975年始，王士元创建POLA研究组（Project on Linguistic Analysis），欧哈拉执掌音系实验室，2004年荣休，他的继任者为基斯•约翰逊（Keith Johnson）。

欧哈拉的研究兴趣是实验室音系学与语音学，以及语言的行为学方面，包括语音感知、语音演变、语音与音系普遍性、音系的心理语言学研究、语音象似性等。欧哈拉对生成学派音系学以及优选论（Optimality Theory）持批评态度，自1980年代以来便倡导用实验方法来研究音系学，反对传统音系学对语言“内部”与“外部”的区分并只着重内部结构的研究旨趣，强调生理与心理因素的作用，提倡用更可靠的数据更直接地去探索说话人的音系知识。其与耶里•耶格（Jeri J. Jaeger）于1986年主编的《实验音系学》（Experimental Phonology）影响深远，首次明确提出了实验音系学的概念。类比科学实验的可重复性，欧哈拉著名的论点是要在实验室重复音变的发生，而他最著名的成就就是在实验室证明了听话人对说话人语音的感知差异导致了音变的发生[Ohala, J.
