Databases for Linguistics
- Linguistics and Language Behavior Abstracts (LLBA) covers 1973 -
present and is updated five times a year. LLBA abstracts and indexes the international literature in linguistics and related
disciplines in the language sciences. The database covers all aspects of the study of language including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics. Complete coverage is given to various fields of linguistics including descriptive, historical, comparative, theoretical and geographical linguistics. The database provides abstracts of journal articles and citations to book reviews drawn from over 1,500 serials publications, and also provides abstracts of books, book chapters, and dissertations. LLBA uses a Thesaurus of index terms, providing a hierarchy of subject headings.

Use
to connect to the online version of a journal article, if available. If it is not available online, use the Library
Catalog to search for the SOURCE (journal title, conference title, book title). Request any items (books, articles, dissertations, etc.) not owned by the Libraries via the
interlibrary loan request form. (Free databases such as
BL Online and
RAMBI don't necessarily interact with UT's licensed journals; to locate materials identified with these free indexes, look for the SOURCE (journal title, book title) in the catalog and if it isn't owned, use
interlibrary loan to request the article or book.
Use OCLC WorldCat to locate items not held at UT and to obtain the specific bibliographic information for interlibrary loan requests: the OCLC, ISSN or ISBN and other details included on Interlibrary loan request will ensure you receive the item in a timely manner. The OCLC number is the last field in a the WorldCAT record and appears like this example:
Accession No: OCLC: 51728729
