The Lexicologist's Handbook
The Lexicologist's Handbook
I can't say I've ever sat down and read a dictionary from cover to cover before. The Lexicologist's Handbook isn't your run-of-the-mill dictionary overwhelming in length. The pages are full of the more fun words in the English vocabulary.
What I like most about this book is that the pronunciations are presented phonetically. Some words I knew had different pronunciations than I had always assumed. There were some new words I learned as well. The definitions are easy to read accompanied by their use in a sentence. I plan to revisit this book with a notebook sometime and write down the new words I learned.
A huge thanks to the author's team for sending me a free copy of the book to read and review!
