Ethnocentrism and the English Dictionary PDF
by Phil Benson
Part of the Routledge Studies in the History of Linguistics series
- Information
Description
This unique work challenges the assumption that dictionaries act as objective records of our language, and instead argues that the English dictionary is a fundamentally ethnocentric work.
Using theoretical, historical and empirical analyses, Phil Benson shows how English dictionaries have filtered knowledge through predominantly Anglo-American perspectives.
The book includes a major case study of the most recent edition of the Oxford English Dictionary and its treatment of China.
