More about the book
Challenging the notion of dictionaries as unbiased records, this work posits that the English dictionary is deeply ethnocentric. It explores how language reflects cultural biases and assumptions, revealing the subjective nature of dictionary definitions. The author invites readers to reconsider the role of dictionaries in shaping our understanding of language and culture, emphasizing the influence of societal values on linguistic representation.
