Inhaltsangabe

The "Dictionaire (sic!) Critique de la Langue Française" by abbé Jean-François Féraud (1725-1807) is incontestably the best-documented record of the 18th century French that has come down to us from that period. Published in 1787 (by Mossy of Marseille) it pursues the innovative aim of providing a comprehensive portable French dictionary designed specifically as an aid for foreigners, the young and people from the provinces. Data culled by the author from previous metalinguistic works are carefully compared, criticised, source-referenced and supplemented, particularly in the field of neologisms, which Féreud includes to a degree that puts him well ahead of most contemporary lexicographers. With the exception of etymology, there is extensive coverage of the linguistic information to be expected of such a dictionary, with especial attention given to usage restrictions (style, pragmatic range, communication situation, frequency, acceptability etc.) and critism of misspellings. In terms of quality and information the work stands alone and is self-recommending for all interested in 18th century France and French.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Lexicographica. Series Maior features monographs and edited volumes on the topics of lexicography and meta-lexicography. Works from the broader domain of lexicology are also included, provided they strengthen the theoretical, methodological and empirical basis of lexicography and meta-lexicography. The almost 150 books published in the series since its founding in 1984 clearly reflect the main themes and developments of the field. The publications focus on aspects of lexicography such as micro- and macrostructure, typology, history of the discipline, and application-oriented lexicographical documentation.
