Produktbeschreibung

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.
