If somebody were to ask me to list, say, ten of the most seminal works
of twentieth century analytic philosophy, I think I could come up with
a reasonable collection. That is, I think I could pick ten books that
most analytic philosophers would agree have decisively shaped the
field (e.g., Quine's _Word_and_Object_, Kripke's
_Naming_and_Necessity_, Wittgenstein's _Tractatus_, and
_Investigations_, and so forth).
I am interested in acquiring some background in linguistics, so I
wonder if any of you folks would care to offer a similar list of "core
readings" in that discipline.
I am not certain if this sort of thing should be posted to the net or
mailed to me, perhaps to be summarized. Use your own judgment, I
guess. I thank you in advance.
