Ib. ANNUAL BIBLIOGRAPHIES & PERIODICAL INDEXES

Bibliographie linguistique de l'annee. Utrecht: Spectrum, 1948-.
(DR) Z7001.xB5
Volume 1 covered 1939-1947. Annual thereafter. International in scope. Lists books and articles and cites book reviews. Arranged in broad subject categories. Slower to appear by about a year than the MLA or BLL.

For coverage of research since 1981, the MLA Bibliography will probably be the most useful of these three bibliographies, because of its subject index and broad scope. The Bibliographie Linguistique is particularly strong in research on East European and Asian languages. Before 1969 the Bibliographie Linguistique is more complete than the MLA.

Bibliographie Linguistischer Literatur (BLL). Frankfurt am Main: V. Klostermann, 1979-.
(DR) Oversize z7003.xB5q
Vol. 1 covered 1971-1975. Annual thereafter. Lists books and articles on general and theoretical linguistics and on English and the Germanic and Romance languages. Detailed subject arrangement with an additional subject index.

Includes citations for dissertations ranging from 1861 to those accepted last semester; those published from 1980 forward include 350-word abstracts.

(Annex) Z6941.xM6.
Electronic Resource: MLA International Bibliography.
Annual. Since 1969 this has had a separate, extensive section on linguistics ("volume" III in Book One of the print version), which lists books and articles in broad subject categories. Since 1981 it has also had a detailed subject index (in Book Two of the print version), and can be searched through either the print version or the Web. It provides minimal annotations. Indexes over 3,000 journals and series. Also covers relevant monographs, working papers, proceedings, bibliographies. Areas include literature, language, linguistics, and folklore. When begun in 1921 it covered writings by Americans on the literatures of various countries. By 1963 it listed books and articles in English and in other West-European languages and in some East-European languages, and since 1981 it aims to be all-inclusive. Now it covers modern languages and literatures of the world, as well as literary criticism and theory; comparative and historical linguistics; folklore; and professional topics.
A companion to the MLA International Bibliography is Modern Language Association of America. MLA Directory of Periodicals - A Guide to Journals and Series in Languages and Literatures. New York: Modern Language Association of America, 1978/79- located in (DR) Z6941.xM6. It covers journals and series indexed by the MLA International Bibliography.

[Companion to Arts and Humanities Citation Index, 1976-. Both the SSCI and the AHCI are now part of the Web of Science database]. The online version allows you to choose between an "Easy Search" for Topic, Person, or Address and a "Full Search" in order to locate where an author has been cited.
