Gabriele Stein

Word Studies in the Renaissance

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This volume examines the ways in which Renaissance lexicographers selected, described, and analysed the lexicon. It explores the extent to which bi- and multilingual word lists and dictionaries in the 16th century are often pan-European in character, and discusses the increasing use of typography to present lexical information structure.
