Preface to the Second Edition
The aim and general format of the LEXICON GRAMMATICORUM (LG) arethe same as laid
outintheprefacetothefirsteditionof1996(below).Iamgratefultothepublisherforgrantingme
theopportunitytocorrecterrors—sometimesembarrassingones—andforagreeingtoexpandthe
numberof entries to over 2,000. Now as then, living scholars, whose work and influence are still
developing,areexcluded.Usersofthefirsteditionwhofoundtheabundantabbreviationsconfus-
ingwillnoticethatthesearenowlimitedtothebibliographies.Theco-editors,includingthosefrom
the first edition, are here listedwith their areas:
– Sylvain Auroux and Bernard Colombat, Paris, France (French-speaking countries)
– DieterCherubim,Gçttingen,Germany(German-speakingcountries)
– Tullio De Mauro and Donatella Di Cesare, both Rome, Italy (Antiquity and Italy)
– Eric P. Hamp, Chicago, IL, USA, and Steven N. Dworkin, Ann Arbor, MI, USA (North
America)
– ChristophHarbsmeier,Oslo,Norway(China)
– Caroline C. Henriksen, Roskilde, Denmark (Scandinavia)
– MiklKs Kontra, Budapest, Hungary (Hungary)
– Andrzej M. Lewicki, Lublin, Poland, and Robert Hammel, Berlin, Germany (Slavic countries)
– Bruno Lewin, Bochum, Germany, and Viktoria Eschbach-Szabo, T bingen, Germany (Japan)
– Jolanta Mindak, Warsaw, Poland, and Robert Hammel, Berlin, Germany (South Slavic coun-
tries)
– Jan Noordegraaf, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (Dutch-speaking countries)
– Georges-Jean Pinault, Paris, France (India)
– IrMne Rosier and Anne Grondeux, Paris, France (Middle Ages)
– Algirdas Sabaliauskas, Vilnius, Lithuania (Baltic countries)
– Paul Salmon†, Oxford, Great Britain, John N. Green, Bradford, Great Britain, and Werner
H llen†, Duisburg-Essen, Germany (Britain and Ireland)
– RamKn Sarmiento, Madrid, Spain, and John N. Green,Bradford,Great Britain (Spanish- and
Portuguese-speaking countries)
– Werner Sasse, Hamburg, Germany (Korea)
– Sorin Stati†, Bologna, Italy, and Lauren¸tia Dasca˘lu Jinga, Bucharest, Rumania (Rumania)
– Kees Versteegh, Nijmegen, The Netherlands (Arabic-speaking world).
Some lacunae were again filled ad hoc by additional specialists, and there are now entries on
modern Greek, Israeli, Maltese, Tibetan and Turkish scholars. As I pointed out in the preface to
thefirstedition,“[a]worklikethiscanneverbefinal,norwilliteverseemsufficientlybalancedto
allreaders”—nortoallcontributors,forthatmatter.Thisremainsastruefor2,000entriesasitwas
for 1,500, and as it would be for any number. In fact, while some critics, as well as some
contributors, urged the inclusion of all major figures, whatever that might mean, others felt that
those who can be easily found in general reference works might as well be omitted in favor of
devotingmorespacetolessuniversallyknownfiguresaboutwhomitisdifficulttofindinformation
elsewhere. But would not one who is looking for information on a linguist, major or otherwise,
rightlyexpectto findhim orherinabio-bibliographicalreferenceworkonthehistoryoflinguis-
tics? And since most major figures were already in the first edition, the expansion to over 2,000
entrieshaspermittedtheinclusion ofagreaternumberoflesser-knownfiguresselectedattheco-
editorsVdiscretion. Forsomelacunae, evenmajorones, thebest explanationI canofferis that no
authors could be foundwhowere willing to contribute.

Preface to the First Edition (1996)
It is the aim of the LEXICON GRAMMATICORUM to provide access to the worldVs linguistic

Any lacunae were filled ad hoc byLEXICON authors or byadditional specialists.
The original plan agreed upon with the publisher provided for 1,000 large-size, double-column
pagescorrespondingto1,000 entries;theaveragelength ofanentrywas tobeonepage. Ofthese
1,000 pages, each co-editor was allocated space roughly proportionate to the area of his or her
responsibility. Within their allotted space, the co-editors suggestedthe entriesto beincluded, and
once the list was agreed upon, the entries were prepared. As is so often the case, however, more
entries were written than originally planned and many turned out longer than expected. In
consequencethetotalnumberofentriesrosetoover1,500.IthereforebegthereaderVsindulgence
for the unseemly numberof abbreviations needed to save space.
In general, each entry consists of three sections: biography; analysis of the work and its
importanceforthehistoryoflinguistics;andbibliography,thelatternecessarilylimitedforreasons
ofspace.Entriesapprovedbytheco-editorwerethenpassedontotheGeneralEditor;bothread
