[Ads-l] Antedating of "Surface Structure"

[Shapiro, Fred]

When I present an antedating of the OED, I use OED's citation style.  In this instance, I deviated slightly from OED style by using a colon after the volume number, leading to confusion.

"4" is the page number, not the issue number.

Hi Fred,
It looks like Moulton's article "Applied Linguistics in the Classroom" is in PMLA 76:2 (May, not number 4 as you had it).

surface structure (OED 1964)

1961 William G. Moulton in _PMLA_ 76:4 (JSTOR)

Here we have two phrases with the same surface structure: verbal noun plus prepositional phrase.
