Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first full account of the making of John Jamieson's Etymological Dictionary of the Scottish Language. The dictionary was published in two volumes in 1808, with a two-volume Supplement following in 1825. Lists of Scots words had been compiled before, but Jamieson's was the first complete dictionary of the language. It was a landmark in the development of historical lexicography and was an inspiration for later lexicographers, including Sir James Murray, founding editor of the OED. Susan Rennie's account of Jamieson's work and the methods he developed interweaves biography, lexicography, and linguistic, social, and book history to present a rounded account of the man, his work, and his times. It is the first study to draw on Jamieson's correspondence and the surviving manuscript materials for the Dictionary and Supplement to reveal Jamieson's working methods and the important contributions made by Sir Walter Scott and others to his work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Supplement to Jamieson's Scottish Dictionary: With Memoir, and Introduction In the following work I have attempted to complete the Scottish Dictionary compiled by Dr. Jamieson. By far the larger portion of the work consists of materials collected during a long and varied course of reading extending over many years; and the remaining portion consists of additional forms, meanings, and illustrations of words recorded, in the Dictionary, and of corrections and improvements of a large number of its meanings and etymologies. These materials have been drawn chiefly from works that have been issued since the Dictionary was published; and many of them were quite unknown to the author of that work. Besides new and more correct editions of various important works which he used, I have specially to note the publications issued under the direction of the Deputy Clerk Register of Scotland, by the Burgh Records Society, and by the Scottish d104 Society, - works which cover the whole period of Scottish history during which the vernacular was written and spoken by all classes of society. But, a large number of words have been gleaned from books used by Dr. Jamieson; and not a few from works which he must have read with very considerable care. A full list of the books read or consulted during the progress of the work will be found at the close of this Introduction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together papers presented at the Tenth International School on Lexicography, titled “Life Beyond Dictionaries” and held in Ivanovo, Russia, and Florence, Italy, in September 2013. It continues the series of edited volumes dealing with the theoretical and practical aspects of lexicography, published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing in 2007, 2009, 2010, and 2013. The book is divided into three sections, “Lexicography Worldwide: Historical and Modern Perspectives”, “Tourism and Heritage Dictionaries with Special Reference to Culture”, and “Projects of New Dictionaries”. The contributions to this volume investigate problems of world lexicography and its cultural contexts with special reference to projects of new dictionaries. As such, the book will be of interest to theoreticians, lexicographers, and students of linguistic faculties.
