Subject: Summary of Disciplinary Histories of Linguistics

 
Thanks to all of you who submitted a suggestion for a linguistic disciplinary
history that has the potential to reach a wider audience. The original query
from January 2018 is here:

https://linguistlist.org/issues/29/29-505.html

I got the following submissions, which are all worthy to take a look at
(hopefully including the last one. Thanks for helping to shape this title with
your reading suggestions):

* The history of Linguistics from Plato to 1600 (2003) by Vivian Law. See
https://books.google.ca/books/about/The_History_of_Linguistics_in_Europe.html?
id=4QOTTpX2NTMC&redir_esc=y (suggested by Magdalena Zoeppritz)

* Encounter With an Angry God: Recollections of my Life with John Peabody
Harrington (1993) by Carobeth Laird. See
https://www.amazon.com/Encounter-Angry-God-Recollections-Harrington/dp/0826314
147 (suggested by Mary J Brody)

* Perspectives in Linguistics, 2nd ed., by John T. Waterman (1970). See
https://www.amazon.com/Perspectives-linguistics-John-T-Waterman/dp/0226874605
(suggested by Marisa Brook)

* The Linguistic Wars (1995) by Randy Allen Harris. See:
https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-linguistics-wars-9780195098341?cc=
ca&lang=en& (still a good case study on what NOT to do)

* Creating Canadian English: The Professor, the Mountaineer, and a National
Variety of English, by Stefan Dollinger (forthcoming in 2019). See
