Description
Perhaps the single most influential work of general linguistics published in this century, Leonard Bloomfield's Language is both a masterpiece of textbook writing and a classic of scholarship. Intended as an introduction to the field of linguistics, it revolutionized the field when it appeared in 1933 and became the major text of the American descriptivist school.

One of the classics of the field. A must read if you want to understand the American Descriptivist school of Linguistics which dominated before Chomsky.
