When we look up a word in a dictionary, we want to know not
just its meaning but also its function and the circumstances
under which it should be used in preference to words of similar
meaning.
Standard dictionaries do not address such matters, treating each
word in isolation. R. (. W. Dixon puts forward a new approach to
lexicography that involves grouping words into semantic sets , to
describe what can and cannot be said, and providing explanations
for this. He provides a critical survey of the evolution of English
lexicography from the earliest times, showing how Samuel Johnson’s
classic treatment has been amended in only minor ways. Written
in an easy and accessible style, the book focuses on the rampant
plagiarism between lexicographers, on ways of comparing meanings
of words, and on the need to link lexicon with grammar. Dixon tells
an engrossing story that puts forward a vision for the future.
