READING SUGGESTIONS


For those interested in Lexicography -wordsmiths- I would like to suggest great readings on the subject:
--K.M. Elisabeth Murray: "Caught in the Web of Words: James Murray and the Oxford English Dictionary," 1977.
--Simon Winchester: "The Meaning of Everything: The Story of the Oxford English Dictionary," 2003.
--Simon Winchester: "The Professor and the Madman," 1998.
--John Willinsky: "The Empire of Words: The Reign of the OED," 1994.
--Henry Hitchings: "Defining the World: The Extraordinary Story of Dr. Johnson´s Dictionary," 2005.
--Sydney Landau: "Dictionaries: The Art and Craft of Lexicography," 2001.
