These 100+ books and articles are all the works I could find on Google Scholar with at least 4000 citations as of today (January 7th, 2018; minor additions on Jan 10th and Jan 15th) and were arguably about linguistics, taken broadly. I am interested in learning about omissions. If you can find a linguistic work which is not on this list but which has been cited at least as many times, let me know. Alternatively, if you can argue that a work is more influential than these without having been cited as much, I\u2019d be interested in hearing the arguments.<\/p>\n<p>Caveats: I added up numbers for different formats of citation for Saussure, but didn\u2019t do this for other works. I think that Google Scholar conflates elements with similar titles, for example Pustejovsky&#8217;s 1991 article and 1995 book of the same title (<em>The Generative Lexicon<\/em>) and Jackendoff\u2019s 2002 and the 2003 pr\u00e9cis of it in BBS. Journal titles appear in parentheses when I have noticed that an entry is a journal article (most of them are books, and a few are in collections). I have tried to enter the original date for works which have appeared in multiple editions. In my first pass, I only wrote down last names, and then when I suspected Google Scholar wasn\u2019t displaying the original publication date, and had to look up a work, I added the first names of the authors; this is why some first names are included and some aren\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>I have been inconsistent about including philosophers. Notable omissions: Wittgenstein\u2019s Philosophical Investigations (42342 citations), Kripke\u2019s Naming and Necessity (12827), Frege\u2019s \u00dcber Sinn und Bedeutung (8979 including English translation), Lewis\u2019 Counterfactuals (5951) and On the Plurality of Worlds (5832); also Carnap, Tarsky, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Update June 2020: I have added Biber et al 1999, with over 11,000 citations, and Biber 1988, with over 6,000. In the meantime most of the entries here have added a thousand citations or so, and I have just begun updating them. New citation numbers are followed by \u201c2020\u201d in parentheses. Order has not yet been adjusted to reflect changes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Author(s)<\/th>\n<th>Year<\/th>\n<th>Title<\/th>\n<th>Citations<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Lakoff and Johnson<\/td>\n<td>1980<\/td>\n<td>Metaphors we Live by<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">64194 (2020)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Austin, JL<\/td>\n<td>1962<\/td>\n<td>How to Do Things with Words<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">54384 (2020)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Grice<\/td>\n<td>1975<\/td>\n<td>Logic and conversation<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">39801 (2020)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"name\">Chomsky<\/td>\n<td class=\"date\">1965<\/td>\n<td class=\"title\">Aspects of the Theory of Syntax<\/td>\n<td class=\"citations\" align=\"right\">37855 \u00a0(2020)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"name\">Saussure<\/td>\n<td class=\"date\">1916<\/td>\n<td class=\"title\">Course in General Linguistics<\/td>\n<td class=\"citations\" align=\"right\">29687<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"name\">Rabiner, LR<\/td>\n<td class=\"date\">1989<\/td>\n<td class=\"title\">A tutorial on hidden Markov models and selected applications in speech recognition<\/td>\n<td class=\"citations\" align=\"right\">26290<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"name\">Searle<\/td>\n<td class=\"date\">1969<\/td>\n<td class=\"title\">Speech Acts: An Essay in the Philosophy of Language<\/td>\n<td class=\"citations\" align=\"right\">25607<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"name\">Halliday<\/td>\n<td class=\"date\">1985<\/td>\n<td class=\"title\">An Introduction to Functional Grammar<\/td>\n<td class=\"citations\" align=\"right\">25453<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"name\">Lakoff<\/td>\n<td class=\"date\">1987<\/td>\n<td class=\"title\">Women, Fire, and Dangerous Things<\/td>\n<td class=\"citations\" align=\"right\">25180<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"name\">Chomsky<\/td>\n<td class=\"date\">1995<\/td>\n<td class=\"title\">The Minimalist Program<\/td>\n<td class=\"citations\" align=\"right\">23898<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"name\">Chomsky<\/td>\n<td class=\"date\">1981<\/td>\n<td class=\"title\">Lectures on Government and Binding: The Pisa Lectures<\/td>\n<td class=\"citations\" align=\"right\">21348<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"name\">Brown, Penelope and Stephen Levinson<\/td>\n<td class=\"date\">1987<\/td>\n<td class=\"title\">Politeness: Some Universals in Language Usage<\/td>\n<td class=\"citations\" align=\"right\">21229<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"name\">Chomsky<\/td>\n<td class=\"date\">1957<\/td>\n<td class=\"title\">Syntactic Structures<\/td>\n<td class=\"citations\" align=\"right\">20891<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"name\">Ellis, Rod<\/td>\n<td class=\"date\">1994<\/td>\n<td class=\"title\">The Study of Second Language Acquisition<\/td>\n<td class=\"citations\" align=\"right\">19573<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"name\">Sperber and Wilson<\/td>\n<td class=\"date\">1986<\/td>\n<td class=\"title\">Relevance: Communication and Cognition<\/td>\n<td class=\"citations\" align=\"right\">18906<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"name\">Brown, H.
