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, Orhan Bilgin On 20 Feb 2023 18:39, Miloš Jakubíček via Corpora <[email protected]> wrote: This email originated outside the University.

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.
