Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, an extensive English dictionary, is a comprehensive distillation of the growth and transformation of the English language from its inception to the present day. Beginning with the Anglo-Saxon origins of the language, lexicographer Samuel Johnson details the various influences that have shaped English over the centuries, including its absorption of words from old French and Latin. The author provides rich context through copious examples drawn from the works of prominent authors, illustrating how English gradually shifted away from its Teutonic base toward a more Gallic structure. Remarkably, for a work of its time, this dictionary includes words from trades and professions, a nod to the author's democratic and inclusive approach to language. Beyond providing definitions, Johnson's work offers insights into the evolution of ideas, tracing how words have expanded and contracted in meaning over time. The author's historical approach to language makes this not just a reference work, but a fascinating literary and scholarly achievement. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780332517568_0
