Reviews

'Koerner's various essays assemble a considerable record of historiographic scholarship on American linguistics by American linguists. There are analytic gems as well as bibliographic detail' - Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences ' ... readers will find many useful and informative comments to which no doubt they will wish to refer in future ... Koerner makes good use here of modern studiesm and makes helpful comments on the history of so-called 'missionary linguistics', and on many figures who still deserve to be studied in greater detail ... ' - Linguistics 'This book is informative and suggestive in many ways.' - The Prague Bulletin of Mathematical Linguistics
