This is very sad news indeed. I had the pleasure of working with Prof. Pala on the Balkanet wordnet development project between 2001-2004. I will always remember him as a pleasant and wise person.
May he rest in peace,

Dear colleagues,
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Karel Pala, professor emeritus of our faculty. He passed away on Wednesday morning, February 15, 2023, at the age of 83. Karel was an early corpus-enthusiast who pioneered corpus linguistics in Czechia. His friendly attitude inspired many of us to pursue our careers in this field. This will always be remembered with deep gratitude.
