Exactamundo!

Item 2. Language Forms
Here is my personal working bibliography of books on linguistics from
the last time that I accumulated the spare quanta to assemble one, so
you can see that some of them are in the "classic to crusty" category.
I excluded most items on pragmatics, semantics, semiotics, and so on,
but there is some overlap with ethnography due to my work at the time
on protocol analysis, qualitative data, and sequential interactions.
Anyway, things have not changed all that much at the bedrock level
where we happen to be busy at the moment.
