Synopsis: Dictionaries of the national language of a country are an essential and quite frequently controversial part of social life and learning. This is an account of how such dictionaries are made, how they are used, and the issues and problems that face their writers and editors. It is wide-ranging, scholarly, yet readable in its approach, addressing the linguistic problems in areas such as distinguishing meanings, writing definition, and providing synonyms.
About the Author: Henri Bejoint is a Senior Lecturer in the Department de Langues Etrangeres Appliquees, Universite Lyon 2. He is co-editor (with Pierre J. L. Arnaud) of Vocabulary and Applied Linguistics (Macmillan, 1992).
