Twentieth-Century Welsh Lexicography as a Context for the Geiriadur yr Academi
Language Centre, University College Cork, Éire
This paper is intended to fulfil two functions. One is to provide some form of context for the work Bruce Griffiths, Dafydd Glyn Jones: Geiriadur yr Academi: the Welsh Academy English-Welsh Dictionary Gwasg Prifysgol Cymru/University of Wales Press, Caerdydd/Cardiff, 1995, which is mentioned in its title, and thus involves a brief survey of a number of landmarks in Welsh lexicography of the twentieth century, especialy its second half. Several of the more prominent works discussed are illustrated by sample pages. The other intention is to offer a partial review of the publication itself.
