Note: This listing acknowledges the receipt of recent studies that seem to bear on linguistics, in particular the history of the discipline. Only the receipt of those books will be acknowledged separately which have been sent upon request. It should be pointed out that by accepting a book, the Editor implies no promise that it will be reviewed in HL. Reviews are printed as circumstances permit, and offprints are sent to the publishers of the works reviewed. Items preceded by an asterisk have been chosen for review in one of the forthcoming issues of HL. They will only be listed here.

The vol. consists of a collection of papers, most of which had previously appeared under the Danish title, Helhed og struktur: Udvalgte sprogvidenskabelige afhandlinger (Copenhagen: C. E. G. Gad, 1966), plus a number of hitherto unpublished papers ed. by Anders Bjerrum et al. Most of the papers have been translated into German; papers written in English have not been translated. The vol. has been prefaced by a biographical sketch, “Paul Diderichsen: 16. August 1905 – 9. Oktober 1964”, by Eli Fischer-Jørgensen (10–21). From the 14 articles included herein, the following are of particular interest to historians of linguistics: “Entwicklung und Struktur in der Sprachwissenschaft” (217–53); “Rasmus Rasks Auffassung der Sprachentwicklung und Sprachstruktur” (254–72); “Darwin und die Sprachwissenschaft” (273–87), and “The Foundation of Comparative Linguistics: Revolution or continuation?” (288–319). The vol. contains an editorial commentary on individual items (343–53); an index of names (345–57) as well as of terms and subjects (358–62)

G. transl. by Monika Wesemann of the Dan. original, Rasmus Rask og den grammatiske tradition (Copenhagen: Munkgaard, 1960), with a few lesser changes. Cf. the reviews of the original work by Karl Horst Schmidt in IF 67.91–94 (1962) and by K. C. Chapman in ScS 35.339–41 (1963). – The main thesis of the book is that Rask was much more interested in general typological studies of language (and in this much influenced by 18th-century linguistic thought) than in historical work like Bopp and especially Grimm. – The vol. concludes with copious notes (157–72) and a detailed bib. of primary and secondary sources; cf. now also the re-edition of Rask’s Grammar of the Icelandic or Old Norse Toneue preoared by T L Markey (Amsterdam- Benjamins 1976), esp. pp. xxxvi-Iii
