With annually over 20.000 records added, arranged according to a state-of-the-art system of subject and language descriptors, the Linguistic Bibliography remains the standard reference work for every scholar of linguistics.
The online edition contains all entries of the printed volumes as of 1993, and new records are added on a monthly basis. Annual volumes of the Linguistic Bibliography will continue to be published in print by Brill

The coverage of the Linguistic Bibliography is constrained in the following ways:
| • | Only scientific publications are included, no popular pamphlets and pedagogical works (the pedagogical restriction being moderated in the case of lesser known languages) |
| • | Applied linguistic publications are listed only if they have theoretical implications |
Contributors
A network of international specialists ensures world-wide in-depth coverage. Some of these experts are responsible for a specific field of linguistics, others cover the complete production of their home country.
