LIN 4660 - Linguistics and Literature (Young)

Guide Overview

This guide is a companion to Dr. Bet Young’s LIN 4660 - Linguistics and Literature. I have compiled many resources that will assist students in locating specific words in print resources available through the UCF libraries dating back to the 1800s. Those resources can include magazine and newspaper articles as well as other primary documents including early American pamphlets, letters, and broadsides. Here’s a quick overview of what’s included in this guide:
