Research resources in the history of linguistics

Bibliographical resources Annual bibliographies These come out once a year and list articles published in a great range of journals, as well as books and monographs. To use them effectively, jot down the authors/subjects you want to look up, scan the table of contents to see how the bibliography is organised, and look your queries up in each volume, working backwards from the most recent. Bibliographie Linguistique . Covers all aspects of linguistics. The history of linguistics section is subdivided by period in the more recent volumes. L'Année Philologique . Secondary literature and new editions of Classical Greek and Latin texts, as well as sections organised by subject. Medioevo Latino . Medieval Latin material from 500 to 1300 (since 1995 goes up to 1500). Look under ‘Discipline: Grammatica’ and ‘Filologia e letteratura: Linguistica’ in the table of contents, and under the names of individual authors. The Fortleben (‘Survival’) section includes studies of the transmission and medieval use of ancient grammarians, listed by ancient author's name. MLA Bibliography . Heavily literary in orientation.
