(Her library didn't have the early edition.) This edition is now online (in Google books), and the attribution is correct. http://ia700204.us.archive.org/7/items/introductionalt00meilgoog/introductionalt00meilgoog_djvu.txt Thanks to my co-author, Martijn Wieling, who wasn't satisfied with the vague attribution I used in an earlier version of a paper. He found the passage in Google books. John Nerbonne Linguistic Field(s): Historical Linguistics                             History of Linguistics New!
