Linguistic Bibliography Online
Linguistic Bibliography Online contains over 800,000 detailed bibliographical descriptions of linguistic publications on general and applied linguistics. About 220,000 descriptions (of works published before 1993) are available in free access, and about 585,000 descriptions (of works published from 1993 on) are available in the premium edition. The bibliography aims to cover all languages of the world, paying particular attention to publications on endangered and lesser-studied languages. Bibliographical references of publications in any language are collected, analyzed, and annotated by a team of linguists and bibliographers from around the world. With a tradition of over seventy years, and with about 2,000 new references added every month, the
Linguistic Bibliography Online remains the most comprehensive and up-to-date bibliography for every scholar and student of linguistics.
Linguistic Bibliography Online includes all bibliographical references of the printed yearbooks since 1978, as well as additional materials which are exclusive to the online version, such as references to online resources. Annual print volumes of Linguistic Bibliography are also published.
