[Lingtyp] history of linguistics: phonological word

[Alexander B.]

I haven't really dug into the origin of the term "phonological word"
properly but it does seem the term was quite common in Soviet linguistics
already in the early 60s. For example, Shaumyan 1962 uses it two times,
Ivanov 1963 once, and it is already included into a dictionary of
linguistic terms (compiled by Akhmanova, 1966).

Akhmanova, O. S. 1966. *Slovar' lingvisticheskikh terminov*. Moskva: Sov.
entsiklopediya.
Ivanov, V. V. 1963. *Khettskiĭ i︠a︡zyk*. Moskva: Izd-vo vostochnoĭ lit-ry.
Shaumyan, Sebastian, and S. G. Barkhudarov. 1962. *Problemy teoreticheskoĭ
fonologii*. Moskva: Izd-vo Akademii nauk SSSR.
