The problem of definition has a long history and has engaged the
minds of some of the most eminent thinkers in the Western
tradition, from Plato and Aristotle onwards. But it is also an
everyday problem constantly confronting all who have to draft or
interpret the countless texts on which modern society depends.
Definition in Theory and Practice focuses on two areas where
difficulties arise in a particularly acute form: lexicography and
the law. Examining a wide range of approaches and definitional
techniques, backed up by detailed analyses of dictionary entries
and court cases, the authors provide a comprehensive survey of
their subject. They argue that what underlies the problem of
definition are conflicting assumptions about the way language
functions. This in-depth study of definition will be of interest to
academics researching lexicography, semantics and the intersection
of linguistics and jurisprudence.
