Download or read book The English Dictionary from Cawdrey to Johnson 1604 1755 written by De Witt T. Starnes and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1991-07-26 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study by Starnes and Noyes was immediately recognized as a unique and pioneering work of scholarship and has long been the standard work on the emergence and early flowering of English lexicography. Within the last 20 years we have been witnessing a remarkable scholarly interest in the study of dictionary-making and the role played by dictionaries in the transmission and preservation of knowledge and learning. It is therefore essential to have this classic work available again to all students of linguistic history. In its new edition the book has been vastly enhanced by a lengthy and invaluable introduction by Gabriele Stein, Professor of English Linguistics in Heidelberg and author of The English Dictionary before Cawdrey (1985). In her introduction to the present volume she sets out in scholarly detail the work that has emerged since 1946, which makes this study of the English dictionary from Cawdrey to Johnson as complete as the original authors themselves would have wished.

Download or read book The Emergence of the English Author written by Kevin Pask and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-08-08 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The historical construction of literary authorship has long been of particular interest to literary scholars. Yet an important aspect of the historical emergence of the author - the literary biography or 'life of the poet' - has received scant attention. In The Emergence of the English Author, Kevin Pask studies the early life-narratives of five now-canonical English poets: Geoffrey Chaucer, Philip Sidney, Edmund Spenser, John Donne and John Milton. By attending to the changing shape of the lives of these poets, Pask produces a history of the developing conception of literary authorship in England from the late medieval period to the end of the eighteenth century, and offers a long-term sociological account of literary production. His book is the first full-scale history of the cultural construction of literary authority in early modern England.

Download or read book Word Studies in the Renaissance written by Gabriele Stein and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book examines the work of Renaissance lexicographers such as John Palsgrave, Claudius Hollyband, Richard Huloet, and Peter Levins, with particular focus on the author at work: the struggles of these lexicographers to understand the semantic range of a word and to explain and transpose it into another language; their assessment of different linguistic and cultural expressions, and their morphological analyses; and their efforts to find ways of structuring and presenting lexical information. Gabriele Stein explores the influence of the works by Ambrogio Calepino, Robert Estienne, Hadrianus Junius, and Conrad Gesner, and the extent to which bi- and multilingual dictionaries in the 16th century are often pan-European in character; she also provides the first in-depth and richly-illustrated discussion of the use of typographical resources to present the structure of lexical information.

Download or read book Circa 1492 written by Isaac Benabu and published by Jerusalem : Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Faculty of Humanities : Misgav Yerushalayim. This book was released on 1992 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the time of planning the colloquium from which these studies proceed, the guiding idea was to convene Hispanists, Hebraists and Arabists of international repute, who had traditionally worked within the confines of their own fields of research and whose work spanned the areas of learning in which Jews were active, from the so-called Golden-Age of Spanish Jewry to the Expulsion and its aftermath: hence the title of this volume. This book only purports to scrape the tip of the iceberg of new investigations of circa 1492, but if it encourages further excavation in a similar spirit, then its aims have been fulfilled
