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.
