Ashgate Critical Essays on Early English Lexicographers


Book Description

Three major developments in English lexicography took place during the seventeenth century: the emergence of the first free standing monolingual English dictionaries; the making of new kinds of English lexicons that investigated dialect or etymology or that keyed English to invented 'philosophical' languages; and the massive expansion of bilingual lexicography, which not only placed English alongside the European vernaculars but also handled the languages of the new world. The essays in this volume discuss not only the internal history of lexicography but also its wider relationships with culture and society.

Book Description

Le Dictionarie of the French and English Tongues de Randle Cotgrave (1611), fort de ses 48000 entrées, constitue un chef-d'œuvre méconnu de la lexicographie bilingue français-anglais. En 2011, à l'occasion du 400e anniversaire du dictionnaire, un colloque international a été organisé autour de ce dictionnaire, rassemblant des spécialistes de plusieurs disciplines (linguistique, histoire des dictionnaires, histoire de l'alimentation, histoire des idées), dont ce volume présente les textes.
