Ethnocentrism and the English Dictionary, Hardback Book

Ethnocentrism and the English Dictionary Hardback

Part of the Routledge Studies in the History of Linguistics series

Hardback

Out of stock

Description

This unique work challenges the assumption that dictionaries act as objective records of our language, and instead argues that the English dictionary is a fundamentally ethnocentric work.

Using theoretical, historical and empirical analyses, Phil Benson shows how English dictionaries have filtered knowledge through predominantly Anglo-American perspectives.

The book includes a major case study of the most recent edition of the Oxford English Dictionary and its treatment of China.
