Lexicography as Editing: A Day in the Life of a Harmless Drudge

After the resounding success of our September presentation with Alan Sheppard, we’re excited to announce our October programming — Lexicography as Editing: A Day in the Life of a Harmless Drudge, a presentation by former OED lexicographer Deirdre Greene Lono!
Deirdre’s talk will include such topics as the practice of lexicography and how it overlaps with general editing, the history and compilation of the OED, and how its defining style affected the fiction style of J.R.R. Tolkein.
This presentation will take place on Wednesday, October 27 at 7:30 AST/8:00 NL. Members can request the Zoom link by emailing us at atlantic@editors.ca.
