Revue de presse
"A host of fashionable words and modern jargon, such as frenemies and staycations, has been added to America's most venerable dictionary...It will provide fresh reading for those on staycation (holidays at home) and may even compel some to vlog (video blog) about their introduction to new words...Given the influence American popular culture has around the world, it is likely that some of the new terms will enter into common British parlance before too long."
--The Daily Telegraph, 10 July 2009

Hardcover with dustjacket. Etat : Sehr gut. Eleventh Edition. 1622 p., with fig., Very good condition. -- Preface: When Webster's Collegiate Dictionary was first published, the year was 1898, and Americans were being exhorted to "remember the Maine." As the eleventh consecutive edition of this standard reference book appears, we have crossed the nearly inconceivable divide between the second and third millennia of the modem era, but since daily lives can scarcely be led in constant awareness of a span of time that vast, we now situate ourselves, for the most part, in the first decade of the twenty-first century. Over the time between these editions, the world has made its way through two global wars and many others of a more limited kind; wide-ranging social, political, and economic change (not to say, revolution); and successive waves of technological change that have transformed communication, transportation, information storage and retrieval, and great numbers of other human activities. At every turn these events and developments have had a major effect on the stock of words that English speakers use, and it has been the job of a good general dictionary to record these changes. The present book is the latest effort by the editorial team of Merriam-Webster to meet that responsibility. -- Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition, like all earlier editions is meant to serve the general public as its chief source of information about the words of our language. Its title may suggest a special appropriateness for the older student, but those who work in offices and those who read, think, and write at home will equally find it a trustworthy guide to the English of our day. -- The ever-expanding vocabulary of our language exerts inexorable pressure on the contents of any dictionary. Words and senses are bom at a far greater rate than that at which they die out. The 1664 pages of this Collegiate make it the most comprehensive ever published. And its treatment of words is as nearly exhaustive as the compass of an abridged work permits. As in all Merriam-Webster dictionaries, the information given is based on the collection of 15,700,000 citations maintained in the offices of this company. These citations show words used in a wide range of printed sources, and the collection is constantly being augmented through the efforts of the editorial staff. Thus, the user of the dictionary may be confident that entries in the Collegiate are based on current as well as older material. The citation files hold 5,700,000 more examples than were available to the editors of Webster's Third New International Dictionary, published in 1961, and 1,200,000 more than the editors of the Tenth Edition had at their disposal. The editors of this edition also had available to them a machine-readable corpus of over 76,000,000 words of text drawn from the wide and constantly changing range of publications that supply the paper slips in the citation files. It is now nearly four times the size of the corpus used by the editors of the Tenth Edition. -- Those entries known to be trademarks or service marks are so labeled and are treated in accordance with a formula approved by the United States Trademark Association. No entry in this dictionary, however, should be regarded as affecting the validity of any trademark or service mark. -- The best features of the vocabulary section in the last edition have been retained, reviewed, and improved for this one. Additional pictorial illustrations are present, and many of them were drawn especially for this book in order to supplement and clarify definitions. Synonym paragraphs and usage paragraphs are both here again, augmented in number. The dates of first use provided at most main entries have proved to be very popular with users of the Collegiate. For the Eleventh Edition, thousands of these dates have been pushed back in time, anywhere from a single year to several centuries from published materials (both print and electronic) not available ten years ago, i from the continuing investigations of our own editors, and from the contributions of hundreds of interested readers. Two important changes in the treatment of the vocabulary have been made for this edition, one to provide additional information and the other to make information easier to find. All standard variants are now shown at the relevant main entry so that the reader may see at a glance whether they are equal variants with the main entry or are distinctly less frequent. And entries for abbreviations as well as for the symbols for chemical elements are now quickly found in the vocabulary section and need not be sought in a separate section tucked away in the back matter, as in the previous edition. -- The front matter of this book establishes a context for understanding what this dictionary is and how it came to be, as well as how it may be used most effectively. The Explanatory Notes address themselves to the latter topic. They answer the user's questions about the conventions, devices, and techniques by which the editors have been able to compress mountains of information about English words into so few pages. All users of the dictionary are urged to read this section through and then consult it for special information as they need to. The brief essay on our language as it is recorded in Merriam-Webster dictionaries, and this Collegiate in particular, is meant to satisfy an interest in lexicography often expressed in the correspondence which our editors receive. The Guide to Pronunciation serves both to show how the pronunciations in this book are arrived at and to explain the mechanics of the re- spelling system in which they are set down. -- The back matter retains five sections from the last edition of the Collegiate. These are Foreign Words and Phrases that occur frequently in English texts but have not become part of the English vocabulary; thousands of proper names brought together under the separate headings Biographical Names and Geographical Names; a gather.
