Ashgate Critical Essays on Early English Lexicographers: Volume 5: The Eighteenth Century: Ashgate Critical Essays on Early English Lexicographers

Editat de Anne C. McDermott
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 dec 2012
The eighteenth century is renowned for the publication of Samuel Johnson's A Dictionary of the English Language, which reference sources still call the first English dictionary. This collection demonstrates the inaccuracy of that claim, but its tenacity in the public mind testifies to how decisively Johnson formed our sense of what a dictionary is. The essays and articles in this volume examine the already flourishing tradition of English lexicography from which Johnson drew, as represented by Kersey, Bailey, and Martin, as well as the flourishing contemporary trade in encyclopedic, technical, pronunciation, and bilingual lexicons.

Descriere

The eighteenth century is renowned for the publication of Samuel Johnson's A Dictionary of the English Language. Today it is still referred to as the first English dictionary thereby showing how decisively - and inaccurately - Johnson formed our sense of what a dictionary is. The essays and articles in this collection examine the already flourishing tradition of English lexicography from which Johnson drew, as represented by Kersey, Bailey, and Martin, as well as the flourishing contemporary trade in encyclopedic, technical, pronunciation, and bilingual lexicons.
