Until 1997, when this bibliography was posted on the Internet, persons interested
in a bibliography of Dwight Bolinger had to refer to two sources: (1) his book
Essays on Spanish: Words and Grammar (item 323 below) published in 1991, and
(2) Robert Stockwells's obituary of Bolinger that appeared in Language (Vol. 69,
No. 1, 1993). Essays on Spanish included 312 items covering the period of 19341989. Professor Stockwell's article included selected bibliographies of Bolinger's
writings on intonation; English syntax and semantics; Spanish syntax and
semantics; and style, usage, and general linguistics. In addition, it provided 23
more citations, several involving articles that were still in the process of being
published, which were then numbered as 313 to 335.
This bibliography, as posted in 1997, merged both lists, placed everything in
chronological order, and brought the citations up to date. It also included four
articles that we were not aware of at the time, one that had yet to be published
("According To", item 336), and three that had been omitted from the list in Essays
on Spanish, items 151, 240, and 249.
Changes made to this Web site in 2004 include the following changes to the
bibliography: (1) a correction to the wording of item 338, (2) the deletion of the
former item 339 because it appears not to have been published, (3) the addition of
a new item 339, and (4) the addition, to ten entries, of a notation that they all were
reprinted in Forms of English (item 166). Other changes include (1) an addition to
the list of honors, (2) a link to a recording of a speech by Bolinger that is available
on the Internet and (3) the addition of three articles to the list of biographical and
autobiographical materials.
Changes made to this Web site in 2007 include the addition of the following:
(1) By comparing Bolinger's bibliography to the Literature Online
database available at http://lion.chadwyck.co.uk, ten more
publications were identified. To avoid renumbering the bibliography,
they were added at the end, representing the following years: 1938,
1941, 1944, 1954, 1968, 1975 (3), 1985, and 1986.
(2) Bolinger's education and professional experience was listed
following his honors.
(3) Citations to reviews of Bolinger's books were added.

bibliography are as follows:
