Abstracts by Mar. 20 to Colette Moore (cvmooreu.washington.edu). Call for papers: Lexicography discussion group session, MLA 2007, Chicago 150 Years of the OED In 1857, the Philological Society of London decided to embark on a new dictionary project. From its inception, the project was both a specialized, philologically rigorous endeavor and a collaborative undertaking driven by popular energy and national pride in the English language. It would grow beyond the society's imaginings to become a hallmark of historical lexicography: the Oxford English Dictionary. This session invites proposals that discuss the historical construction, cultural reception, research applications, and/or methodological considerations of the dictionary in its paper or electronic editions. Abstracts by March 20 to Colette Moore (cvmooreu.washington.edu).
