Z historii antyleksykografii, wyd. 2

From the History of Anti-lexicography

The book offers an overview of Polish anti-dictionaries – from the beginning of the 17th century to the second decade of the 21st century – and several classic foreign works. These dictionaries are intended for reading, not for seeking information, and their ingenuity, original style, aesthetic values, satire and humour are more important than their fidelity to facts.

Keywords: lexicography, anti-lexicography, dictionaries, anti-dictionaries, humorous dictionaries, objectivity in lexicography.
