Dedication
From former students
Patricia MacGregor-Mendoza
The unconditional encouragement, guidance and respect that I received through
my Ph.D. process has forever guided my own interactions with my students. Te
agradezco infinitamente el apoyo que siempre me has brindado.
Kim Potowski
I may not have returned to complete a Ph.D. if it weren’t for your encourage-
ment and support! Te agradezco todo lo que has hecho por mí.
Carlos del Moral [R.I.P. 2009]
In his doctoral dissertation, he thanked Anna María as follows:
“This dissertation would not have been possible without the expert guidance of my
esteemed adviser, Dr. Anna María Escobar. I would like to thank her especially
for the many thought-provoking conversations we have had concerning this dis-
sertation, […] and her support and advice in other areas of academic life. She
fostered a stress-free working relationship that was crucial for the completion of
this work. […] her guidance has been instrumental in shaping my understand-
ing of linguistic fieldwork”.
Marisa Martínez-Mira
Gracias Anna María por tus clases, que tanto me ayudaron a perfilar mi tesis,
y por toda tu ayuda, entusiasmo e infinita paciencia conmigo. Fuiste el mejor
ejemplo de profesora y en el que siempre me fijo para enseñar mis cursos y guiar
a mis estudiantes.
Talia Bugel
Para mi querida profesora, infinito agradecimiento por otorgarme el privilegio
y el placer de aprender de su enorme calidad humana y profesional, desde el
vi DeDication
primer momento en que me comuniqué con el departamento de español, italiano
y portugués en UIUC e incluso durante mi vida profesional.
Isabel Velázquez
Para AME con cariño y agradecimiento, por las lecciones de vida dentro y fuera
del aula.
María del Puy Ciriza
Having worked with you over the years, I have witnessed first hand your depth of
knowledge in a wide range of topics. It has been a great pleasure to contribute to
your legacy.
Mónica Millán
Anna María, muchísimas gracias por todo tu apoyo y asesoría durante mi paso
por UIUC e incluso luego de salir. Con tu orientación y guía, me ayudaste a ca-
nalizar mis ideas y a culminar con éxito mi largo proceso del doctorado. Muchas
gracias por tu paciencia y dedicación. Felicitaciones!!!
Claudia Holguín Mendoza
Por toda su confianza, por el apoyo que siempre me ha brindado con todas mis
hipótesis y variables, mi gran admiración, cariño y gratitud Anna María.
Munia Cabal-Jiménez
Querida Annamaría, su palabra precisa y rigurosa y su presencia igualmente
paciente, solidaria y fuerte nos han marcado una senda. Por el entusiasmo, el
comentario a tiempo y la pasión compartidos. Y por tanta tinta roja, imagen
hiperbólica y sostenida de su compromiso. Con reiteradas y sentidas gracias.
Justin Davidson
Anna María, the joy your work brings you is wonderfully contagious and per-
vades my research. I cannot thank you enough for never once letting me feel un-
supported or unguided these past six years. Que sepas que has dejado tu huella en
cada trabajo que he hecho, y así en todos los que me quedan por hacer.
From colleagues
Zsuzsanna Fagyal
Calling you a colleague would not do justice to everything that I have learned
from you, Anna María; ‘a model’ would be more appropriate. « Merci d’avoir
été là pour moi pendant toutes ces années »!
