The Cameron Lecture 2021

Date
15/10/2021
Description
English Place-Names and the Oxford English Dictionary: Surveying the Landscape by Dr Tania Styles (Senior Editor, Oxford English Dictionary). With the centenary of the Survey of English Place-Names fast approaching, this lecture celebrates the long tradition of collaboration between scholars of English place-names and the lexicographers of the Oxford English Dictionary. Using examples from our recent work, it aims to explore some of the ways in which place-name scholarship is being used in the Dictionary today to ensure that the OED continues to serve as the definitive record of the English language.
