About J.R. Firth

[Emma_love_mango]

I'm trying to revising my paper. I have quoted a sentence by J.R. Firth.
"Each word when used in a new context is a new word". Where is this sentence from? I'm looking forward to one's help. Please.

Firth (1957: 190) mentions "the general rule that each word when used in a new context is a new word".

Where can I find the book, Dr. Xiao? It seems that this book is hard to find, esp. the E-book.

I scanned and uploaded the seminal book chapter three years ago.
http://www.corpus4u.org/forum/showthread.php?t=4176

or download the article at http://ishare.iask.sina.com.cn/f/22675836.html

The quote can be found in lines 10-11 at page 190 of the book chapter.

Originally, the article "Modes of Meaning" was published in 1951 and reprinted by OUP in the Collection "Papers in Linguistics 1934-1951 by J. R. Firth" as a festschrift in 1957.
