History of the Linguistic Bibliography/Bibliographie LinguistiqueThe idea of compiling a linguistic bibliography was conceived in 1946, at the sixth meeting of the CIPL (Comité International Permanent des Linguistes/Permament International Committee of Linguists) in Paris. The bibliography would cover linguistic publications of the previous years in order to re-establish international contacts between linguists which had been interrupted by World War II. Linguists from ten different countries contributed to the first volume, which was the responsibility of Prof. Christine Mohrmann, who soon entrusted the work to Jan Beylsmit. In 1948, the newly founded UNESCO agreed to make a financial contribution to each volume, which would cover the printing costs. In 1949, the first volume of the
Linguistic Bibliography/Bibliographie Linguistique (LB) was published by publishing house Spectrum (Utrecht, The Netherlands).
From then on, new volumes of the LB yearbook were published, first with Spectrum, then with Martinus Nijhoff (1980-), Kluwer (1988-), Springer (2005-), and finally Brill (2008-). From 1983, the LB staff were housed in the Koninklijke Bibliotheek (National Library of the Netherlands), where an online bibliographical database was developed. The
Linguistic Bibliography Online (LBO) was launched in 2002 and contains all bibliographical references from 1993 onwards.
Today, the
Linguistic Bibliography print volumes and online database are published with Brill (Leiden, The Netherlands), and are compiled by two in-house editors and some 40 contributors from all over the world. The print volumes continue to appear annually and
Linguistic Bibliography Online is updated monthly.
