Compilation, Word Selection, and Presentation
The chapter provides an overview of Elyot’s compilation based upon his own comments, and then concentrates on the lexicographical principles that characterize his particular approach. His word selection, his treatment of homographs and their lexicographical arrangement are described. The study of his grammatical framework reveals the use of some terms which, according to the OED, are first found in his dictionary. His descriptive analyses of word-formations are highlighted and a detailed account is given of his sources.
