Summary

In 'The Evolution of English Lexicography', James Augustus Henry Sir Murray delves deep into the history and development of English dictionaries. This scholarly work explores the evolution of language and how it has been recorded and defined through the ages. Murray's meticulous research and attention to detail make this book a valuable resource for linguists and language enthusiasts alike. The book not only traces the origins of the English language but also offers insights into the cultural and social influences that have shaped its lexicon over time. James Augustus Henry Sir Murray, a renowned lexicographer himself, brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to this study. His background working on the Oxford English Dictionary gives him a unique perspective on the subject matter, allowing him to provide in-depth analysis and interpretations of the evolution of lexicography. I highly recommend 'The Evolution of English Lexicography' to anyone interested in the history of language and dictionaries. Murray's comprehensive survey of the subject is sure to enlighten and fascinate readers with its exploration of how words are defined and cataloged in the English language.

    Reporting on a linguistic ethnographic study, Işıl Erduyan explores multilingual identity construction of high school students of Turkish descent enrolled in a downtown high school (Gymnasium) in Berlin. She focuses on naturally occurring classroom interactions across German, Turkish, and English classes and attends to the complex relationship between identities and multilingual repertoires through a scalar analytical perspective. Her findings demonstrate how multilingual students’ linguistic repertoires are bound by linguistic performances within and across multiple timescales. The study takes an innovative path by attending to the everyday linguistic practices of a group of multilingual immigrant students with the same national background through linguistic ethnographic lenses in the context of mainstream schooling in Europe, and by focusing on a much-understudied group, namely higher achieving students of immigrant descent enrolled in a German high school.
