To highlight some aspects of empirical linguistics, a conference was organized in 1978 at University of Alberta, at which six prominent scholars were invited to present substantial contributions. These papers are included in this volume, together with an epilogue summing up aAmsterdam studies in the theory and history of linguistic science.Series IV,Current issues in linguistic theory ;v. 10.Linguistics, ExperimentalCongressesElectronic books.Linguistics, Experimental410Prideaux Gary Dean652351University of Alberta Conference on Experimental LinguisticsMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458019203321Perspectives in experimental linguistics1940609UNINA
