[Lingtyp] history of linguistics: phonological word

[Timur Maisak]

Dear colleagues,

if "*phonetic word*" also counts, I think the Russian linguist Lev Scherba [
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lev_Shcherba] was one of the first to use
this term. At least on Google.books the use of "фонетическое слово" can be
found in his 1910 paper (
https://www.google.ru/search?num=100&biw=1093&bih=556&tbs=cdr%3A1%2Ccd_max%3A1930&tbm=bks&ei=zH5IXI-QMdGNmgXA8J3QAQ&q=%22%D1%84%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B5+%D1%81%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BE%22).
Note that in the Russian tradition, the term "phonetic word" is much more
common than "phonological word".

I do not have the copy of the paper, but the original reference is: Щерба
Л. В. Критические заметки по поводу книги д-ра Фринты о чешском
произношении (Известия Отделения русского языка и словесности Императорской
Академии наук, 1910, том XV, книга 1).

Best,
Timur Maisak
