Cf. the bibliographies of Trnka's writings compiled by J. Nosek in the years 1965a, 1971a, 1975a, 1980a. I would have liked to include a bibliography of Trnka's writings in this volume. But for reasons beyond our control and very much to my regret I could not approach my friend and former colleague Professor Nosek of Prague University for permission to reprint his bibliographies of Trnka's work in this volume. I should like to mention one omission: 'Vilém Mathesius'. English translation of the obituary, originally published in CMF 29, 1946, by V. Honza in T.A. Sebeok ed., (1966). 2: 474-489. J.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SOCIOLOGY OF LANGUAGE brings to students, researchers and practitioners in all of the social and language-related sciences carefully selected book-length publications dealing with sociolinguistic theory, methods, findings and applications.

It approaches the study of language in society in its broadest sense, as a truly international and interdisciplinary field in which various approaches, theoretical and empirical, supplement and complement each other.

The series invites the attention of linguists, language teachers of all interests, sociologists, political scientists, anthropologists, historians etc. to the development of the sociology of language.
