Special Honours
Fishman was honored in 1991 by two publications to celebrate his 65th birthday, each filled with articles by colleagues that followed his interests. One was a three volume collection of articles concerned with his interests, edited by Garcia, Dow, and Marshall. The other was a single volume edited by Cooper and Spolsky.
In 2004 he was awarded the Linguapax Prize.
Fishman was again honored September 10, 2006 by a one-day symposium at the University of Pennsylvania, commemorating his 80th birthday.

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or honours:
“The rebellion is against time pollution, the feeling that the essence of what makes life worth living—the small moments, the special family getaways, the cookies in the oven, the weekend drives, the long dreamlike summers Mso much of this has been taken from us, or we have given it up. For what? Hitachi stereos? Club Med? Company cars? Racquetball? For fifteen-hour days and lousy day care?”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
“If a novel reveals true and vivid relationships, it is a moral work, no matter what the relationships consist in. If the novelist honours the relationship in itself, it will be a great novel.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
