STARNES, De Witt T. and Gertrude
E. NOYES
Studies in the History of
the Language Sciences
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.
