Reviews
The potential value of this work- its offerings to future researchers- is so huge that it is difficult at first to grasp its scope ... one of the most extraordinary and impressive scholarly projects of the past 50 years, The 'Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary' will be outstanding and indispensable and so much fun!, No words of mine can express the magnificence of this monument to our huge and often beautiful language., One-of-a-kind...this is a landmark achievement that all academics and large research libraries should own., 'The publication of this historical thesaurus is a momentus (important, significant) event for all lovers (admirers, devotees, aficionados) of words. I anticipate being overcome (overwhelmed, absorbed) by this book!'Alexander McCall Smith'I can hardly imagine any reference book more valuable for the historical novelist: here is the information we spend hours hunting down through the thickets and coverts of the great OED, shot, stuffed, and mounted for us.'Philip Pullman'The 'Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary' will be outstanding and indispendable and so much fun! Who would have thought that 'smacker' (one who gives loud kisses) came in 1611! At the same time as the first King Henry James Bible.'Melvyn BraggForty-five years of exacting scholarship by a well-led team have had a triumphal outcome. This book is a magnificent achievement of quite extraordinary value. It is perhaps the single most significant tool ever devised for investigating semantic, social, and intellectual history.Randolph Quirk Emeritus Quain Professor of English Language and Literature, University College LondonThe OED gave us individual trees, but never a sight of the whole forest or helpful pathways through it. The thesaurus does precisely that. David Crystal, Honorary Professor of Linguistics at the University of Wales, BangorI can hardly imagine any reference book more valuable here is the information we had to spend hours hunting down through the thickets and coverts of the great OED, shot, stuffed, and mounted for us.Philip Pullman, Author of His Dark MaterialsHere is a work in which you can lose yourself and find your language. The Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary is so thorough and readable that it resembles other thesauri in name only. Finally the OED has a worthy counterpart.Ammon Shea, author of Reading the OEDA treasure-trove for anyone intrigued by word histories An addictive hoard for those who love words.Jean Aitchison, Emeritus Rupert Murdoch Professor of Language and Communicationa word-lovers dream Barbara Kingsolver, Author of The Poisonwood Bible, This is what you call a proper reference tool, as well as an awesome tribute to the English language., "One-of-a-kind...this is a landmark achievement that all academics and large research libraries should own." --Library Journal"The world's most comprehensive thesaurus." --Poets & Writers"This is a treasure-trove...an extraordinary work." --Michael Quinion, World Wide Words"No words of mine can express the magnificence of this monument to our huge and often beautiful language." --Elspeth Barker, Literary Review"Startling and amazing...the HTOED is a godsend." --Mark Peters, Good"Once again, Oxford UP has proved itself the leader in English lexicography, and it will be a long time before speakers of other languages have anything remotely similar to this arweorþlic/reverend/canonizable work of scholarship." --Stephen Dodson, Languagehat"The ultimate volume for the word-fetishist." --New Yorker "Book Bench""An astounding intellectual achievement." --Dayton Daily News"A dizzying power to have at your fingertips, and I bet that historians, sociologists, philosophers and literary critics will soon wonder how they got by for so long without it...indespensible." --New York Times Magazine "One of the reasons why the Historical Thesaurus of the OED is so welcome is that it restores those principles to their rightful prominence, which will enable readers to trace the living language in all of its historical glory. Roget would have approved." --Weekly Standard "Deserves a place on the academic shelf because it indeed leaves Roget, Webster, and even other Oxford thesauri far behind...an essential purchase." --College & Research Libraries News"Worth the wait." --Booklist Starred Review"Rarely does a wholly new kind of reference work appear, and more rarely still does such a work seem indispensable upon its release. Whereas a historical dictionary shows the ideas associated with a given word over the centuries, the Historical Thesaurus shows the words associated with a given idea. The knowledge compiled in this 40-year project is stunning and promises to revolutionize the study of the language by making wholly new kinds of questions possible. The work is absolutely crucial to any scholarly collection. Essential." --CHOICE, "I am one of those who is intrigued by the way in which language evolves. To see the development of the English language set out in this way will bring endless pleasure to any lover of words. This work is, quite simply, fascinating." - Alexander McCall Smith, Author of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency "I've been waiting nearly all my life for a book like this -- as it turns out, literally! I am thrilled that the Historical Thesaurus is now a reality. The only problem is that I may dive in and never come out again. This is a word lover's dream." - Barbara Kingsolver, author of Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life "Here is a work in which you can lose yourself and find your language. The Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary is so thorough and readable that it resembles other thesauri in name only. Finally the OED has a worthy counterpart." - Ammon Shea, Author of Reading the OED "Every line generates fresh insights. It is at once awe-inspiring, humbling, motivating, moving. It actually made me gasp with amazement - and I mean out loud - several times, and I can't recall lexicology doing that to me before! It's amazing how these entries make you feel so much closer to the history of the language than was previously possible. The OED gave us individual trees, but never a sight of the whole forest or helpful pathways through it. The thesaurus does precisely that. It heralds a new era in the historical study of English." - David Crystal, author of Txtng: The Gr8 Db8 "The HTOED is truly a monumental work of scholarship and is certain to be the thesaurus by which all others are judged. It's a browser's joy, and writers of all stripes are sure to find it indispensable!" - Erin McKean, author of Totally Weird and Wonderful Words "The Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary will be outstanding & indispensable & so much fun! Who would have thought that 'Smacker' (one who gives loud kisses) came in in 1611! At the same time as the first St James Bible." - Melvyn Bragg, author of The Adventure of English "A treasure-trove for anyone intrigued by word histories. Those browsing through this fascinating storehouse will discover the (sometimes surprising) first dates of many well-known words and phrases. They will also find a stockpile of enticing words which have faded out of use. An addictive hoard for those who love words." - Jean Aitchison, Emeritus Rupert Murdoch Professor of Language and Communication Oxford University "One-of-a-kind...this is a landmark achievement that all academics and large research libraries should own." -- Library Journal "The world's most comprehensive thesaurus." -- Poets & Writers "This is a treasure-trove...an extraordinary work." --Michael Quinion, World Wide Words "No words of mine can express the magnificence of this monument to our huge and often beautiful language." --Elspeth Barker, Literary Review "Startling and amazing...the HTOED is a godsend." --Mark Peters, Good "Once again, Oxford UP has proved itself the leader in English lexicography, and it will be a long time before speakers of other languages have anything remotely similar to this arweorþlic/reverend/canonizable work of scholarship." --Stephen Dodson, Languagehat "The ultimate volume for the word-fetishist." --ew Yorker "Book Bench" "An astounding intellectual achievement." --ayton Daily News, The OED gave us individual trees, but never a sight of the whole forest or helpful pathways through it.

Synopsis
The Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary is the first historical thesaurus that includes almost the entire vocabulary of English, from Old English to the present day. The largest thesaurus resource in the world, the Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary covers more than 920,000 words and meanings. The Thesaurus's organization follows a thematic system of classification, with entries arranged in a semantic hierarchy according to their meanings., The Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary is the first historical thesaurus to be compiled for any of the world's languages, and includes almost the entire vocabulary of English from Old English to the present day. Conceived and compiled by the English Language Department of the University of Glasgow, the Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary is a groundbreaking analysis of the historical inventory of English. The thesaurus organization follows a thematic system of classification, with entries arranged in a semantic hierarchy according to their meanings rather than listed alphabetically. This means that, for example, all the verbs meaning 'to eat', and other words connected with eating, can be viewed together. The Historical Thesaurus also has a unique historical component, and is linked directly to the senses and the dating of words in the OED. For each individual entry synonyms are presented in chronological order according to the first recorded date of the word's use in English, with earliest synonyms first. The Historical Thesaurus thereby lists obsolete words, and obsolete meanings of current words as well as offering a comprehensive treatment of current English. The Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary is a unique resource for scholars of all types - linguists and language specialists, historians, literary commentators, etc. - as well as being a fascinating resource for everyone with an interest in the English language and its historical development. It is a perfect complement to the OED itself, allowing the words in the OED to be cross-referenced and viewed in wholly new ways. The text is made up of two main parts: the main text, comprising numbered sections for semantic categories, and the index, comprising a full A-Z look up of nearly one million lexical items. There is also an introductory essay and a full list of the semantic hierarchy.The Historical Thesaurus includes almost every word in English from Old English to the present day, drawing on the Oxford English Dictionary, and supplemented by the following specialist dictionaries of Old English: Jane Roberts and Christian Kay with Lynne Grundy, A Thesaurus of Old English, King's College London Medieval Studies XI, 1995, 2 vols., xxxv + 1555.

A, 1994., A 40-year project in the making, the Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary is the first historical thesaurus to include almost the entire vocabulary of English, from Old English to the present day. Conceived and compiled by the Department of English Language of the University of Glasgow, the Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary is a groundbreaking analysis of the historical inventory of English, allowing users to find words connected in meaning throughout the history of the language. The Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary is a unique resource for word-lovers of all types-linguists and language specialists, historians, literary commentators, among others-as well as being a fascinating resource for everyone with an interest in the English language and its historical development.
