The Unmasking of English Dictionaries

Beschreibung

This book describes the historical development of modern dictionaries that treat each word in isolation, and puts forward a new approach to lexicography which contrasts the meanings and functions of words. Written in an easy and accessible style, it will spark lively debate within the fields of lexicography and English linguistics.
