LWAA Materials

Welcome to the Less Widely Available Archive (LWAA) portion of the blog. Here, as time goes on, I will post selected works that are both currently out of print and, often times, also less widely available at universities with smaller library collections. Or likely not available at all to researchers who are still active as linguists and researchers, but may not currently work in an academic setting.

Here are a list of materials currently available in the LWAA:
