References needing closer checking

• Character of Nature vs. Modular Construction: the exact location of the phrase in the underlying summary has to be checked against the full text.
• Consciousness of Death and Transitoriness: the exact page is not currently confirmed.
• The Structure of a Language: how the terms “morphological” and “functional” relate to the book’s own terminology needs verification.
