In this unique and entertaining collection of articles, a noted
scholar and compiler of key works of reference reflects on the
nature of language, the art of lexicography and the breath-taking
developments in communication, the media and information technology
in the late twentieth century.
This book ranges widely over three main linked subjects: - Language
at large and in particular English, the most widely used language
in the history of the world
- The art and study of dictionaries and reference science,
embracing all past, present and potential reference materials-from
the OED to the Yellow Pages
- The processes through which communication, information and
knowledge have evolved-from cave art to the personal computer.
