A History of the Chambers Dictionary
Author: Mariusz KaminskiPublisher: Walter de Gruyter
ISBN: 3110312735
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
In the literature on English lexicography there have been few attempts at a systematic study of the history of popular dictionaries that have been around for many years in English-speaking countries. A dictionary like Chambers deserves special attention because of its long tradition that goes back to the nineteenth century. Although it has gone through numerous editions, its history has received little attention from scholars. The book traces the development of the Chambers Dictionary from its origins to the present time by comparing corresponding parts of successive editions of the dictionary. This comparative approach aims to determine major trends in the evolution of the dictionary. It will provide scholars and interested students with insights into the Chambers lexicographers’ work, the goals they aimed to achieve, and the problems they had to face when revising the dictionary.

Book Description
"The Chambers Dictionary covers the latest words and meanings to enter the English language but also takes delight in preserving many rare, historical and dialect words that are omitted from other dictionaries. Thus it offers a uniquely rich coverage of English vocabulary from Shakespeare to the present day." "This dictionary has more words and definitions than any other single-volume English dictionary; accurate, clear and, on occasion, characteristically witty definitions; over 500 new words and meanings covering recent developments in technology, culture and s easy-to-follow pronunciation guidance; scholarly explanations of word origins; and extensive appendices of foreign phrases, first names, scientific information, and conversion tables."--BOOK JACKET.
