Today we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Radboud University. This university’s anniversary would not be complete without an honorary doctor in the language sciences. We feel privileged that you agreed to become an honorar y doctor of Radboud University.You have contributed so much to the language sciences. At the start of your career, you focused on prosody, especially the primary and secondary stresses and tones of words and the intonation contours of utterances. You were one of the developers of the ToBI (Tones and Break Indices) system. This set of conventions for transcribing and annotating the prosody of speech ensures that researchers from very different fields, including linguists and engineers, have a common system with which to annotate large collections of speech and thus to collaborate with each other. Producing this system at a time when most researchers strictly worked in their own research area and in which interdisciplinary research was a real exception, the group developing ToBI was ahead of its time by many years. The ToBI system and the larger framework that it inspired has had an enormous impact on the language sciences. Its relevance and viability are evident not only from the nearly two thousand citations of the original 1992 article describing it, but also from the criticisms that have been formulated and the adaptations that have been proposed since then. With the field of language sciences developing rapidly, hardly any researcher can claim that one of their contributions from thirty years ago is still sufficiently relevant to be the topic of complete chapters in present-day handbooks, but you can.
