About This Book
A behind-the-scenes look at the world of lexicography, exploring the meticulous and often contentious process of defining words at Merriam-Webster. Lexicographer Kory Stamper examines how language evolves, how social and political shifts influence dictionaries, and why defining even the simplest words can take months of research.
