Abstract

By NIGEL VINCENT, University of Cambridge I. MISCELLANIES AND PERIODICALS Every five years the discipline oflinguistics reaffirms its unity and its variety by means of an international congress. With equal but more surprising, in view of the vicissitudes of international publishing, regularity, the Proceedings of such gatherings appear in the libraries and bookshops of the world. The latest of these is Proceedings of the XIIIth International Congress of Linguists (Tokyo 1982), ed. S. Hattori and K. Inoue, Tokyo, Gakushuin Univ., 1983, lxii + 1453 pp. As usual, there is a mass of short papers, rarely more than five pages in length, on almost every topic one can imagine (and some one probably couldn't!), but there are also the usual reports on the plenary sessions, which this time were devoted to Syntax and Semantics (primarily concerned with linguistic typology), Syntax (dealing with a small subset of the many models that are currently on offer), Semantics, Morphology, Phonetics, and Phonology (making a welcome return after a ten-year absence), Historical Linguistics, Psycholinguistics, and Sociolinguistics.
