Abstract

During his work on his Chinese and English Dictionary (1842–1843) Walter Henry Medhurst (1796–1857) dramatically changed his compilation strategy by shifting from depending almost exclusively on Robert Morrison’s (1782–1834) Chinese-English dictionary, Zidian 字典 (1815–1823) to depending on multiple sources including Kangxi zidian 康熙字典 (1716), Morrison’s Wuche yunfu 五車韻府 (1819–1820), and Medhurst’s own A Dictionary of the Hok-këèn Dialect of the Chinese Language (1832). By applying Lexicographic Archaeology to four linguistic case studies, this article discusses the reasons for this unusual lexicographical phenomenon. The authors argue that changes in information in Morrison’s Zidian after the 41st radical influenced Medhurst’s choices.

一个显著的编译转变

沃尔特·亨利·梅德赫斯特（1796-1857）在撰写《汉英词典》（1842-1843）期间，极大地改变了他的编纂策略，从几乎完全依赖罗伯特·莫里森（1782-1834）的《汉英词典子典》字典（1815–1823）至《康熙资典》等多源康熙字典（1716）莫里森的《五车云浮》五車韻府（1819-1820），以及梅德赫斯特自己的《汉语霍克方言词典》（1832）。本文将词典考古学应用于四个语言学案例研究，探讨了造成这种不寻常的词典学现象的原因。作者认为，第41次激进后莫里森的《资典》中信息的变化影响了梅德赫斯特的选择。
