Reviews
[The Oxford Handbook of Lexicography] contains a wealth of useful insights in many well-written chapters. It is the most comprehensive account of the current field that I have read, and it deserves particular praise for treating the central issues of traditional lexicography at length while at the same time introducing new and exciting topics that are essential for present-day lexicographers. As such, the Oxford Handbook is a ground-breaking publicationthat will no doubt set a new standard for textbooks on lexicography for years to come., "All dictionary lovers should have conveniently available on their bookshelves this learned yet accessible collection of thirty-seven essays, edited by Philip Durkin and written by both scholars and professional lexicographers...That I have so few outstanding questions in reviewing such a substantial Handbook seems to me a true indicator of its value. This volume guides us in reading today's dictionaries, and especially OED3, with discernment and sympathy for the many challenges lexicographers face daily. But even more, this Handbook will become the authoritative standard by which all handbooks of lexicography are judged. I can think of no higher form of praise." --Dictionaries
