Samuel Johnsons Dictionary, published in 1755, marked a milestone in a language in desperate need of standards. No English dictionary before it had devoted so much space to everyday words, been so thorough in its definitions, or illustrated usage by quoting from Shakespeare and other great writers. Johnsons was the dictionary used by Jane Austen and Charles Dickens, Wordsworth and Coleridge, the Brontes and the Brownings, Thomas Hardy and Oscar Wilde. This new edition, edited by David Crystal, will contain a selection from the original, offering memorable passages on subjects ranging from books and critics to dreams and ethics.

En el mundo de la palabra. Diccionario etimológico de escritura académica es un intento de acercarse a la lengua desde un punto de vista descriptivo. Para ello, cada uno de los términos seleccionados ira brevemente definido para proporcionar a continuacion los etimos de los que esta compuesto. Como se vera, en la practica totalidad de los casos dichos terminos tienen un origen grecolatino. La principal razon estriba en el hecho de que saber cual es el origen de las palabras de un idioma ayuda no solo a conocerlo con mayor profundidad, sino a entender y comprender mejor otros idiomas cercanos ?o no tan cercanos? a la propia lengua. En el mundo de la palabra esta dirigido tanto a quienes tienen interes por mejorar su tecnica de escritura academica ?de entrada, estudiantes de grado, de master y doctorandos? como aquellas personas que sientan curiosidad por conocer, por un lado, de donde procede el centenar de palabras incluidas en la presente obra y, por otro, por que muchas de estas voces son muy similares en otros muchos idiomas. Porque, como señala Juan A. Nuñez Cortes en su prologo, [e]ste libro bien se puede adscribir a ese grupo de recursos didacticos que tienen como objetivo orientar al lector en la escritura de textos academicos. No obstante, no se puede entender como un manual pese a que permite una lectura lineal o de una palabra a otra, de la misma manera que aquellos libros adolescentes que permitian elegir la propia aventura. Buen viaje.
