This expanded fourth edition defines and cross-references 9,040 homophones and 2,133 homographs (up from 7,870 and 1,554 in the 3rd ed.). As the most comprehensive compilation of American homophones (words that sound alike) and homographs (look-alikes), this latest edition serves well where even the most modern spell-checkers and word processors fail--although rain, reign, and rein may be spelled correctly, the context in which these words may appropriately be used is not obvious to a computer.

Dictionaries are among the most frequently consulted books, yet we know remarkably little about them. Who makes them? Where do they come from? What do they offer? How can we evaluate them? The Dictionary of Lexicography provides answers to all these questions and addresses a wide range of issues: * the traditions of dictionary-making * the different types of dictionaries and other reference works (such as thesaurus, encyclopedia, atlas and telephone directory) * the principles and concerns of lexicographers and other reference professionals * the standards of dictionary criticism and dictionary use. It is both a professional handbook and an easy-to-use reference work. This is the first time that the subject has been covered in such a comprehensive manner in the form of a reference book. All articles are self-contained, cross-referenced and uniformly structured. The whole is an up-to-date and forward-looking survey of lexicography.

'On English Homophones' by Robert Bridges is an insightful analysis of the English language's over 800 ambiguous sounds, which make for a clumsy and imperfect instrument for communication. Bridges notes that while we have grown accustomed to the vast number of homophones in the language, they still pose a radical mischief to its scientific and convenient usage. Through his use of examples, such as the word "beam," Bridges demonstrates how different meanings of the same word can make practical homophones, leading to absurdities that we are no longer aware of. This work is a must-read for anyone interested in the intricacies of language and communication.

Homophones and homographs are words that have different meanings: homophones sound alike but are spelled differently, and homographs are spelled the same but pronounced differently. A second-grade homework assignment to see who could generate the largest list of homophones ignited an interest that inspired the first edition of this dictionary (1986).

When Whitney Holland's innocent date with Dan DeMarco suddenly turns into date rape and she finds herself facing pregnancy, she must leave the small California town where she has grown up. Dan is subsequently killed in an accident and his father, George DeMarco loses his mind with grief demanding that Whitney give one or both of her twin sons to his family to raise as their own. She refuses and he tries to enlist the aid of his powerful underworld cousin, Gino Armani. But, when Gino meets Whitney, he is charmed by her candor and beauty, and his outlook on life begins a radical change. George DeMarco, his plans foiled by Gino's refusal to help him, begins to stalk Whitney, attempting to kill her. He systematically begins to seek revenge, killing those around her as he turns into a chillingly mad stalker-murderer.
