Abstract:
This is the first history of dictionaries of English for foreign
learners, from their beginnings in Japan and East Asia in the 1920's
to the present day. Anthony Cowie describes the evolution of the major
titles, and their fight for dominance of what soon became an enormous
market. He shows how developments in lexical and grammatical theory
crucially affected the content and structure of ELT dictionaries.
