[Lingtyp] history of linguistics: phonological word

[Alexander B.]

Emeneau as early as Emeneau 1947 writes

"From that account I extract the definition of a word for this language.
The phonological unit which is to be described in terms of segmental
consonant and vowel phonemes and of tones, coincides with the basic unit on
which the account of the morphology and the syntax is built up, the
morpheme. For this doubly basic unit I use the term 'word'" (p. 239).

He doesn't use the phrase "phonological word"  in his 1947 paper though;
although he talks about phonologically different words there.

239-44. doi:10.2307/409878. https://www.jstor.org/stable/409878
