Linguistics and Language Behavior Abstracts (LLBA)

The definitive database on the nature and use of language, Linguistics and Language Behavior Abstracts, from Cambridge Scientific Abstracts, covers three fundamental areas: research in linguistics (the nature and structure of human speech); research in language (speech sounds, sentence and word structure, meaning in language forms, spelling, phonetics); and research in speech, language, and hearing pathology. The database consists of bibliographic records with abstracts citing journal articles, books, book chapters, dissertations, and reviews of books and other media. Over 1,300 journals from 50 countries are scanned for inclusion in the database. Linguistics and Language Behavior Abstracts is now updated quarterly. The database indexes publications in over 30 languages. Abstracts are in English. Titles appear in both their original languages as well as in English translation. The database includes the LLBA Thesaurus.
