Beschreibung
I highly recommend Samuel Johnson's 'Preface to a Dictionary of the English Language' to anyone interested in the history of English literature, language, or lexicography. Johnson's preface is a masterful exploration of the complexities of language and the process of creating a definitive dictionary. His insights into the nature of English and the challenges of defining its words are as relevant today as they were in the 18th century. Readers will be captivated by Johnson's erudition, wit, and passion for language, making this preface a must-read for scholars, students, and anyone with a love of words. Johnson's work continues to inspire and educate, offering valuable lessons in the art of linguistic analysis and the power of words to shape our understanding of the world.
