In addition to expectable chapters on the history, structure, progress, and prospects of dictionaries, this collection of essays by top-notch lexicographers brings us delightfully unexpected tidbits as well: looking backward, we learn why the 4th edition of Black's Law Dictionary includes an entry for Boston cream pie; looking forward, we envision a time when putting a dictionary next to an exotic restaurant dish will have it pick up aromas and tell us what herbs and spices are contained!'

Rather, there are innumerable kinds of dictionaries that respond to their authors' aspirations and their users' needs. In each case, the negotiation among a dictionary's material, its authors, and its readers tells a rich cultural story. Bringing together cutting-edge research from an international team of experts, this interdisciplinary Handbook provides an all-encompassing account of dictionaries in context. Organized into five thematic parts, its chapters cover a multitude of topics such as types of dictionaries, the place of dictionaries in intellectual, cultural and book history, and dictionaries as material objects, as well as their visual design. It also explores the role of dictionaries in a select group of special fields where words especially matter (for instance, law), the business contexts in which dictionaries are made, and finally the future of dictionaries. There is no fuller or more compelling overview of dictionaries available today.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Introduction Michael Adams and Edward Finegan\u003cbr\u003e Part I.
