lingbib.csli is a linguistics bibliography database in bib/tib/refer format, presently containing some 3,300 entries, heavily slanted towards phonetics/phonology but with a fair amount of morphology, syntax, and semantics thrown in, especially if your interests are computational. We recommend you use it with James Alexander's tib bibliography system, which is Copyright (C) James Alexander (jca.lakisis.umd.edu) but available for the public by anonymous ftp from minos.inria.fr (128.93.39.5) among other places. A typical entry looks like this: %A George A. Miller %A Noam Chomsky %D 1963 %T Finitary models of language users %E R. Duncan Luce %E Robert R. Bush %E Eugene Galanter %B Handbook of mathematical psychology %I Wiley %C New York %P 419-491 Tib can generate TeX/LaTeX formatted code that conforms to the cititation style requirements of various journals. The style file for Language, called ling.tib (and the related ling.ttx file) created by Jeff Goldberg (goldberg@csli.stanford.edu) is enclosed with this distribution. Tib can also interactively look up entries in the database -- see its man page for details. If you wish to make addittions to lingbib.csli please send your contribution (which will become CSLI copyleft) to kornai@csli. Make sure that -- you don't send full articles, just the references -- the entry is a new entry, not a correction to an existing one. (Corrections are also welcome, just send them separately) -- the entry is maximally informative (e.g. put in full first names if you know them) -- the file is in the correct tib format (order of fields does not matter) If you use the slow and clumsy BibTeX system, you might wish to convert to tib -- use the bibtex2ref script by Bernd Fritzke (fritzke@immd2.informatik.uni-erlangen.de) to convert your bibtex bibliography files. Please do NOT send anything in bibtex format. To take full advantage of the lingbib.csli database (e.g. to run interactive searches) you probably want to install the tib package even if you don't use TeX/LaTeX. However, the database is in no way tied to tib, and you are welcome to use it as a plain text file, to search it by grep or other utilities, or to put it under your own DBMS system as long as you abide by the terms and conditions of the CSLI General Public License which requires that you maintain the License and Copying files together with the lingbib.csli file.
