Abstract

On Thursday, November 18, 2021, at the “Sables Rouges” cemetery in the charming French medieval town of Villeneuve-sur-Yonne near Sens, took place the funeral of Professor Per Aage Brandt, who died on November 10. He was one of the most important linguists and semioticians of his generation, but also poet and musician, scholar and humanist, a strong academic personality in Denmark, France, the United States and Latin America, Dane and citizen of the world. He lived in Burgundy for 10 years. In the presence of his French wife Maryse Laffitte, whom he met in 1980 in Copenhagen, his family, colleagues (including several from Denmark) and friends from Villeneuve, a moving ceremony paid him many tributes.Per Aage was a friend with whom I shared much of my scientific life. We had many common interests in several fields and I have always been amazed by his extraordinary human and spiritual richness, both in semiotics and philosophy as well as in the arts at large. These few lines would like to evoke the many talents of this exceptional personality.Deeply attached to France, P. Aa.
