The Linguistic Bibliography Online covers all disciplines of theoretical linguistics, both general and language specific. Material is included concerning all geographical areas. Particular attention is given to endangered and extinct languages as well as lesser known Indo-European and non-Indo-European languages. These latter areas are not usually covered by other bibliographies. Up-to-date information is guaranteed by the collaboration of some forty contributing specialists from all over the world. With annually over 20,000 records added, arranged according to a state-of-the-art system of subject and language keywords, the Linguistic Bibliography remains the standard reference work for every scholar of linguistics. The online edition contains all entries of the printed volumes as of 1993 and new records are added on a monthly basis.
