The title itself demonstrates the ambition of the work. Through the word Caribbean, Allsopp proposes supranational coverage that encompasses all of the Commonwealth Caribbean, a bold step that similar regions such as the South Pacific have not yet attempted. The word English positions the work as decidedly focused on the official language of these islands and countries, even as Allsopp acknowledges and embraces the fact that the Creole languages for which the region is famous are inextricable from the standard language. The inclusion of Usage demonstrates a concern for normativity and guidance. This paper focuses on how Allsopp's views on prescription for his home region informed the creation of DCEU. It extends this focus to his wife and collaborator Jeannette Allsopp, whose multilingual supplement to DCEU formed the basis of her Caribbean Multilingual Dictionary of Flora, Fauna and Foods. That work extends much of the ideology of DCEU to the Greater Caribbean region, documenting the French, Spanish, and French Creole equivalents to English headwords. Together, the two dictionaries set Caribbean standards, both in terms of the norms of the language and in terms of the lexicography of future Caribbean dictionaries.","PeriodicalId":35106,"journal":{"name":"Dictionaries","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/dic.2019.0019","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48476516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Irish: Whose Language Is It Anyway? 爱尔兰语到底是谁的语言?

Dictionaries are major influencers in minoritized languages such as Irish, where only a minority of its speakers attain high levels of literacy in the language. Since the Irish State was founded in 1922 and Irish was reinstated as an official language, dictionaries have been the weapons of mass dissemination of standard Irish. However, the Official Standard of 1958, a compromise between the three main dialects of Irish, was generally rejected by native speakers as \"book Irish,\" and variant forms based on actual usage were accepted in subsequent reference sources, including the main reference source of contemporary Irish, Ó Dónaill's Irish-English dictionary in 1978, also the last major Irish dictionary. Having remained unchanged for fifty years, the Official Standard had three separate iterations between 2011 and 2017, during the writing and editing stages of NEID. The first revision (in which NEID had active involvement) shifted significantly towards current usage; however, that revision was withdrawn from press to be replaced by two further revisions (neither of which had any involvement from NEID) which largely ignored the proposed changes reflecting current usage. The dilemma for NEID then, on the verge of going to print, is finding a balance between current usage, which modern dictionaries generally follow and most users seek, and the formal standard promoted by the official authority of the State. This paper addresses the ways in which NEID strives to strike an effective acceptable balance.","PeriodicalId":35106,"journal":{"name":"Dictionaries","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/dic.2019.0018","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42211588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whereas the first two installments described the founding of DSNA and its leadership, respectively, this installment focuses on its members. First, the membership is characterized demographically and then anecdotally, because motives for membership—as well as lapsed membership—are difficult to determine in the abstract. Also, members are more than numbers, and a partially anecdotal account allows us to see who thought it important to be members of DSNA, or not, and, perhaps, why. Finally, with DSNA’s styles of leadership in mind, that is, recalling this history’s second installment, we hear from members themselves—voices resounding from the archives—about their levels of satisfaction with DSNA and self-estimations of how well they fit into the society. The fourth installment will consider DSNA’s various activities and initiatives from 1977 to 1989, the first “period” of the society’s history.","PeriodicalId":35106,"journal":{"name":"Dictionaries","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/DIC.2019.0000","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41765237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlawful Entries: Buggery, Sodomy, and the Construction of Sexual Normativity in Early English Dictionaries 非法词条:早期英语词典中的鸡奸、鸡奸和性规范的建构

{"title":"Unlawful Entries: Buggery, Sodomy, and the Construction of Sexual Normativity in Early English Dictionaries","authors":"S. Turton","doi":"10.1353/DIC.2019.0009","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/DIC.2019.0009","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT:Historians of sexuality have regularly called attention to the construction of same-sex intercourse as an “unnameable crime” in early modern England. When the crime was named, its most common signifiers in English were buggery and sodomy. However, the precise meanings of these words fluctuated from text to text, so that each term came to represent an “utterly confused category,” in Foucault’s (1978, 101) famous phrase. This article considers the problems of inexpressibility and ambiguity posed by buggery and sodomy for the writers of hard-word and general English dictionaries from 1604 to 1754. It explores how definitions of these terms, as well as of such non-normative acts as fornication and incest, explicitly circumscribed the boundaries of lawful sexual behavior and implicitly constructed a prescribed sexual model within those bounds: procreative, marital, monogamous. Yet, unlike deviant opposite-sex acts, same-sex intercourse was rendered not only illegal but incoherent, as the terms used to explain it—copulation, to couple—were in turn defined in ways that precluded the possibility of any intercourse that was not between the sexes. Nevertheless, the silences and paradoxes embedded in these early definitions allow them to be read from perspectives that are more radical than their writers likely intended.","PeriodicalId":35106,"journal":{"name":"Dictionaries","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/DIC.2019.0009","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47163297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
