Toward a Historiography of Linguistics
The papers brought together in the present volume represent the essence of the author s reflections on issues concerning linguistic historiography and of particular investigations in 19th and 20th century linguistic thought. The papers are clustered in three sections: I. Towards a Historiography of Linguistics, II. Appraisals of Individual Scholars, and III. Trends and Traditions in Linguistics.
The Real Professor Higgins
This volume presents the first full-scale biography of Daniel Jones, a preeminent scholar and leading British phonetician of the early twentieth century, and the first linguist to hold a chair at a British university. This book, richly illustrated with partly unpublished material traces Jones's life and career, including his contacts with other linguists, and with figures outside the linguistic world notably Robert Bridges and George Bernard Shaw.
Towards a History of Linguistics in Poland
Apart from the names of Jan Baudouin de Courtenay (1845 1929), Miko?aj Kruszewski (1851 1887), and, later, Jerzy Kury?owicz (1895 1978), Polish linguists and Polish linguistics generally have been little known in the West. The first two were mentioned with approval by Saussure in an unpublished paper, and this reference was picked up by Roman Jakobson and others many years later. Kury?owicz, for his part, made himself well known in the West through his important work as Indo-Europeanist, even Semiticist, and as a general linguist.The present volume is a first attempt to broaden the perspectives on the Polish contribution to linguistics both inside and outside of Poland during the past centur...
Phonology in the Twentieth Century
The original (1985) edition of this work attempted to cover the main lines of development of phonological theory from the end of the 19th century through the early 1980s. Much work of importance, both theoretical and historiographic, has appeared in subsequent years, and the present edition tries to bring the story up to the end of the 20th century, as the title promised. This has involved an overall editing of the text, in the process correcting some errors of fact and interpretation, as well as the addition of new material and many new references.
Maître Phonétique

Aspinall has included only those essays that offer the most influential and controversial arguments surrounding the play.

Proměny polonistiky
Kolektivní monografie Proměny polonistiky. Tradice a výzvy polonistických studií připomíná již více než devadesátiletou historii a tradici univerzitní polonistiky v českých zemích. Ta se rozvíjela nejprve na pražské univerzitě, později i v řadě dalších vysokých škol (Ostrava, Brno, Olomouc, Pardubice, Opava aj.). V poslední době jsme přitom svědky přechodu od tradičního modelu filologických studií ke studiím areálovým (např. středoevropská studia). Co tato změna může přinést? Kam se polonistická studia posunula? Jak se přístup k polonistice liší v jednotlivých univerzitních centrech v Česku, ale také na Slovensku a v dalších zemích? A co inspirativního může české polonistice nabídnout polonistika zahraniční, v čele s tou polskou? Na tyto a podobné otázky se autoři snaží nalézt odpověď v pěti tematických blocích: Tradice a perspektivy pražské polonistiky, Současné směry literárněvědné polonistiky, Současné směry jazykovědné polonistiky, Metodika výuky polštiny jako cizího jazyka včera a dnes a Tradice a perspektivy polonistiky v prostoru střední Evropy.

Phonetics, Phonology, and Cognition
This volume demonstrates that phonology is a subsystem of the mind/brain and explores the theoretical and practical (including medical) consequences of this insight. Written by American and European specialists at the cutting-edge of research in areas ranging from phonetics to neurology, the book addresses central questions relating to the cognitive status of phonological representation and phonetic implementation and the links between mental and physical representation of sound systems.
