Description
An American Dictionary of the English Language stands as one of the most significant linguistic works in American history. Created by Noah Webster, this two-volume set was specifically designed to exhibit and standardize the English language as used in America, distinguishing it from British English conventions.
Webster’s meticulous approach included detailed definitions, pronunciation guides, and etymological information for thousands of entries. The dictionary reflected American spelling conventions and vocabulary, incorporating words and usage patterns unique to the American experience. This comprehensive reference work became instrumental in establishing linguistic standards for the nation.
This Gyan Publishing House edition presents Webster’s influential work in an accessible format, making it valuable for language scholars, historians, and students of American English. The two-volume set provides insight into 19th-century American vocabulary and the deliberate effort to create a distinctly American linguistic identity.
