Problems in Lexicography

<p><i>Problems in Lexicography </i>is an essential classic work of practical lexicography (the practice of writing dictionaries) and meta-lexicography. Originally published over sixty years ago it was based on the proceedings of the Indiana University Conference on Lexicography held November 11-12 1960. It set a standard that still holds today three generations later. <br /><br />This critical and historical edition brilliantly researched and presented by Michael Adams explores the enduring legacy of this classic work and promises to extend its life further into the twenty-first century. <i>Problems in Lexicography: A Critical / Historical Edition</i> amply demonstrates that this unique work is a book of historical significance and a worthy prologue to lexicography's present.</p>
