Dear All,

I'm attempting to find a BFS reference to structural linguist Leonard =
Bloomfield that I think is in one of his two later autobiographical =
volumes. Skinner stated that he found Bloomfield's use of "stimulus" and =
"response" confusing or strange, presumably in Bloomfield's masterwork, =
Language (1933). I recall reading what Skinner wrote, but for the life =
of me can't seem to find it again. I'm told at the Skinner Foundation =
that someone has produced and published in a journal an index for all =
three Skinner autobiographical works. Would anyone know the reference to =
Bloomfield (volume/page) or the reference for the autobiographical =
index(es)? Thanks in advance for any help.
