Geoffrey K. Pullum: Full Publications List

This is a complete list in forward chronological order of everything I have published in the past 40 years that could reasonably be said to have something to do with my professional life as a linguist. To browse for a particular reference if you know the date, click on the publication year.

1970 1971 1972 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979
1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989
1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999
2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009
2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019

The list is mainly for my own use: I sometimes need to look up what I wrote and when, so I aim here at bibliographical completeness rather than limiting myself to what is significant. Trivial magazine pieces rub shoulders with serious monographs. (Never, I sincerely hope, vice versa.)

There are limits, though: letters to journals and magazines are recorded only in a very few cases when they deal with linguistic topics and the journal or magazine has some significance; nothing from online magazines or blogs is included; and online publications in general are not included unless they are linguistic and were seriously refereed. Items 253 and 255, for example, are research publications that underwent detailed refereeing and subsequent revision.

Under these policies, my TOPIC...COMMENT pieces from 1983 to 1989 do get listed, but blog posts on Language Log or Lingua Franca don't. However, for Language Log posts I have a list of my 676 older ‘Language Log Classic’ posts here, and I maintain a continuously updated index to several hundred posts in the new series here; and a full listing of Lingua Franca posts is maintained here.

No fiction writing is included below, except for items 120 and 143. (I grant you that some of the factual articles contain claims now known to be false, but they were written as honest efforts at non-fiction.)

Where a preliminary version of a piece of research was published one place and the final version had a different title and a different year, they mostly get separate entries cross-referencing each other. Where links to PDFs are included, they are often to pre-final drafts or proofs that I am legally permitted to show you rather than the final versions guarded by the fierce dogs of copyright, so check the printed source before publishing quoted passage.

I did a small revision and reordering of items from the 1980s, correcting a year-of-publication error, on 2 July 2011; but mostly the reference numbers in this list have been stable for some time, and I sometimes use the numbers to point people to particular items.

Please use only the versions linked here; the print version is now a mere flawed curiosity.
