Linguistics

The linguistics collection is strong in the basic components of general linguistics (i.e. syntax, phonology, and semantics). The core collection has been broadened over the years to encompass areas such as discourse analysis, pragmatics, teaching English as second language, computational linguistics, translation, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, and historical linguistics. The bulk of the collection is housed in the Wells Library and the Auxiliary Library Facility.

You can search for books in the linguistics collection in IUCAT, the online library catalog for all IU libraries. You can limit your search to just the Bloomington campus to see what we have, or search all libraries and request items from other IU campuses. Note: you are only able to access e-books with links for the Bloomington campus. If you are looking for journal articles, try using one of these databases.
