{"product_id":"fixing-babel-rebecca-shapiro-9781611488098","title":"Fixing Babel: An Historical Anthology of Applied English Lexicography","description":"We all think we know what a dictionary is for and how to use one, and go right to the words we wish to look up. Yet dictionary users have not always known how English 'works' and this book reproduces and examines important texts in which early dictionary authors explain choices and promote ideas. Fixing Babel provides authoritative transcriptions of documents from the front matter of major English dictionaries over a two-hundred-year period. It also provides commentary on, and annotation of, a wide range of lexicographical concerns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rebecca Shapiro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1611488095\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611488098\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bucknell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/02\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.20w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2017","brand":"Rebecca Shapiro","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43938786312447,"sku":"9781611488098","price":184.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_88cffe30-a2f8-499a-9fd3-0d19b5ce8f3d.jpg?v=1681437710","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fixing-babel-rebecca-shapiro-9781611488098","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
