【 摘 要 】

Broadly speaking, English lexicography encompasses dictionaries of BritishEnglish and other native varieties such as American English, Australian English,Canadian English, etc. Dating from the Anglo-Saxon period, it has a history ofat least 400 years (Cowie 2009). Since the 1970s, many monographs have exploredEnglish lexicography from various perspectives: Some provide a comprehensiveaccount (e.g. Zgusta 1971; Landau 1989; Svensén 1993; Atkins and Rundell 2008;Svensén 2009); some give a historical description (e.g. Collison 1982; Cowie 2002,2009; Béjoint 2010; Miyoshi 2017; Yong and Peng 2021); and some expose theexisting limitations of present-day English dictionaries and offer some solutions to these issues (e.g. Dixon 2018). There are also some volumes focusing onthe history of world lexicography (e.g. Considine 2019). However, except forMartin (2019) on American English lexicography, little research has been conducted to investigate the development of English lexicography in other English-speaking countries.
