Bibliographic notice
Since this series has been variously and confusingly cited as
Georgetown University Monograph Series on Languages and
Linguistics, Monograph Series on Languages and Linguistics, Reports
of the Annual Round Table Meeting on Linguistics and Language
Study, etc., beginning with the 1973 volume the title of the series was
changed.
The new title of the series includes the year of a Round Table and
omits both the monograph number and the meeting number, thus:
Georgetown University Round Table on Languages and Linguistics
1996, with the regular abbreviation GURT '96. Full bibliographic
