The dictionary has long served as an essential tool for attaching meaning to new words. It helps us navigate language, providing clarity and understanding in a constantly evolving linguistic landscape.
However, in the digital age, the relevance of the traditional dictionary is increasingly at risk. With information readily available online and language shifting faster than ever, the role of the dictionary is being challenged.
Author Stefan Fatsis explores this dynamic in his new book, *Unabridged: The Thrill of (and Threat To) the Modern Dictionary*. He delves into the fascinating world of lexicography, examining both the enduring importance and the contemporary challenges facing the modern dictionary.
Join us as we discuss the insights from Fatsis’s book and consider what the future may hold for this timeless reference tool.
