现代词典学入门

　　Dictionaries of the national language of a country are an essential and quite frequently controversial part of social lift and learning.This is an account of how such dictionaries are made，how they are used，and the issues and problems that face their writers and editors.It is wide-ranging，scholarly，and readable.The author gives a concise history of the general-prupose dictionary，describing both the main approaches to dictionary making and the main kinds of dictionary.After comparing the different lexicographical traditions of Great Britain and the USA，and considering the roles of dictionaries in those countries，he explores the linguistic problems in such matters as dixtinguishing meanings writing definitions，providing synonym，etc.The book ends with a discussion of current lexicographical trends.\t\t
