Sources and References, pp. 63-72; Index, pp. 73-76. Glossy wraps with speckled taupe and charcoal background for author name and title lettering in black across top half front cover, above drawing of 3-D cube with a grid of 9 images on front facing of pink lips and teeth pronouncing sounds. Flaws are these: 4 pp. have a single fine blue ink vertical line on a margin adjacent to text; nugatory tiny tip brown stain at top left inside rear cover, and machine-like hole punched at top right corner front cover, cleanly hollowing out (NO compression wrinkles around holes) the cover and pages through p. 30, with next two pages partially hollowed out, and several pages subsequently with circular cut marks and diminishing circular indents (this would seem to be the way the book was identified as a remainder in the 1970's): Describes much worse than it is, but there you have it. Apart from the 4 pages each with a line, book looks As New and Unread: Very tight binding (NO creases); sharp corner (NO bumps or curls); NO previous owner names; NO rubbing wear. Clean text. Solid copy.…

First published in Great Britain in 1973, Main Trends in the Science of Language was part of a series of books that resulted from a study carried out by UNESCO in collaboration with national and international research centres in the social sciences, as well as with groups of individual scholars. The book examines the position of linguistics in the years surrounding the publication of the book before considering the subject’s potential, future development. It looks at linguistic vistas, the place of linguistics among the sciences of man and linguistics and natural sciences. This book will be of interest to the educated reader, research workers, and professional associations as well as to national and international institutions that organize, plan and finance scientific research.

Shipping terms
All domestic orders will be sent by USPS Media Mail, unless some other mode of shipping is requested or required and accepted in advance of shipping. International orders will be sent by USPS International Flat-Rate Priority envelope or box, unless the current weight and size restrictions cannot be met [e.g.: (1) the item is too large to fit the International Flat-Rate envelope or box or (2) the item weighs over 4 lbs. or (3) insurance is requested or required (e.g., the book is worth $40.00 or more)--in each such case, the item will be sent, only if the given destination country allows for it, by signing for the item.] All books sent by USPS Flat-Rate unpadded envelope (or padded envelope, moreover) will be wrapped in paper and packed between cardboard sheets larger than the book or with cardboard affixed at the corners, in order to prevent damage to the book during shipment. Books sent in boxes will also be wrapped in paper and suitably packed to avoid movement in box. The goal here is to ship essentially at cost, rather than to reap additional profit beyond the cost of shipping, thus keeping the customer's cost for shipping as low as possible.
