Not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. The significance of this work was grasped immediately. Osgood wrote that 'Verbal Behavior is certainly one of the two or three most significant contributions to this field in our time.' (Osgood, 1958, p. 212). Morris wrote that 'Skinner is both elegant and admirable (Morris, 1958, p. 213.) Both predicted a promising future for the book and such did turn out to be the case. Over more than half a century after its initial publication in 1957, 'Verbal Behavior' has remained in demand and continues to be relevant. The documented efficacy of Skinner's practices, especially with autism, has assured its relevance. His functional analysis of language continues to inform contemporary research in the field of linguistics.
