O książce

In the first 100 pages of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, Noah Webster embarks on an ambitious mission to standardize American English, meticulously defining words while addressing their etymological origins, uses, and pronunciation. Written in a clearly structured and accessible literary style, this dictionary not only serves as a reference work but also as a testament to the young nation's desire for a distinct linguistic identity. It situates itself within the context of early American nationalism, reflecting the cultural and political aspirations of a post-revolutionary society eager to define itself against European influence. Noah Webster, often hailed as the 'Father of American English,' was a lexicographer, grammarian, and educator whose profound belief in the power of language inspired this unparalleled compilation. His experiences as a teacher, coupled with his observations of the linguistic diversity among the American populace, motivated him to create a dictionary that would promote literacy and foster a sense of cohesion across the rapidly growing nation. His dedication to the evolution of American language mirrors the broader journey of the American identity itself. This seminal work is essential for scholars, educators, and anyone interested in the evolution of the English language. Webster's Unabridged Dictionary is not merely a catalog of words; it is a rich historical document that encapsulates the formative ideals of American society. Readers will appreciate how each entry provides insight into the language used in everyday life and the profound ideas that shaped a nation.
