- W2551503945 abstract "Far more than a mere collection of words and their definitions or equivalents, every dictionary paints a vivid picture of the culture it is a manifestation of and the society it was compiled for; this is part of the didactic goals of dictionaries, whose normative role goes well beyond the linguistic code(s) analysed. And since every dictionary is the product of both a lexicographer’s work and (usually) the tradition of preceding dictionaries, there is also room for individual creativity, itself influencing as well as being influenced by the intellectual history and the social order of the time. This is true of such landmarks in the history of English lexicography as Samuel Johnson’s masterpiece or the OED, but even truer of smaller, humbler dictionaries, arguably more representative of the social issues and ideological differences in a given period of time and speech community. Among these lesser works, The Dictionary of Love, published in London in 1753 (Anon. 1753), is particularly interesting for more than one reason: (1) from a lexicographical point of view, its title and content show that, a century and a half after the beginnings of monolingual English dictionary-making, the concept of monolingual lexicography itself had been widening to include instructional material, thus building on but at the same time going beyond the limits of traditional lexicographical description; (2) from a lexicological point of view, most entries in The Dictionary of Love provide reliable information and shrewd, albeit cynical comments on the ambiguity and semantic evolution of words; (3) from a linguistic point of view, in many entries the compiler deals with what may be defined as the pragmatics of communication between the sexes; moreover, since the dictionary was compiled by Englishing a French source (Anon. 1741), this feature adds a further dimension to the linguistic analysis of this book; (4) finally, from a cultural point of view, The Dictionary of Love, while offering young ladies alphabetically-ordered bits and pieces of social and moral advice, paints a composite picture of contemporary manners, both polite and otherwise." @default.
