| description | Following nearly 20 years after the publication of James Matisoff’s Dictionary of
Lahu (1988), the corresponding reversed English-Lahu Lexicon is a welcome
addition to Lolo-Burmese resources as well as a testament to the advancement in
methods of lexicography. With more than 5,400 head entries and 10,000 sub entries, the 514-page English-Lahu Lexicon (hereafter referred to as ELL) is
designed for quick reference to the English headword and corresponding Lahu
gloss. Matisoff describes ELL as the “bare bones” (p. xxii) of its 1,436-page
dictionary predecessor, which provides detailed etymologies, cross-references,
and usage examples of the Lahu entries. ELL is published by the University of
California Press and is a subproject of the Sino-Tibetan Etymological Dictionary
and Thesaurus project (STEDT) at U.C. Berkeley |
