TEST 1
Reading Passage
You should about 20 minutes on question 4-16, which are based on reading passage 1 below.
JOHNSON’S DICTIONARY
For the country before Johnson’s dictionary was published in 1775, there had been concern about the state of the English language. There were not standard way of speaking or writing and no agreement as to the best way of bringing some order to the chaos of English spelling. Dr Johnson provide the solution.
There had, of course been dictionaries in the past, the first of these being a little book of some 120 pages, compiled by a certain Robert Caw dray, published in 1604 under the title A Table Alphabetical of hard usually English words. Like the various dictionaries that came after is during the seventeenth century, Caw dray’s landed to concentrate on scholarly words; one function of the dictionary was to enable its student to convey an impression of the learning.
Beyond the practical need to make order out of chaos, the rise of the of dictionaries is associated with the rise of the English middle class, who were anxious the define and circumscribe the various worlds to conquer – century library man, as famous Dr. Samuel Johns, the very model of an eighteenth time as in should have published his dictionary at the very beginning of the hey day of the middle class.
Johnson was a poet and critic who raised common sense to the heights to the height of fenius. His approach to the problems that had wormed writers throughout the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries was intensely practical. Up until his time. The task of producing a dictionary on such a large scale had seemed impossible, without the establishment of an academy to make dictions about right and wrong usage Johnson decided he didn’t need an academy to settle argument about language; he would write a dictionary himself; and he would do it single-handed. Johnson signed the contract for the Dictionary with the bookseller Robert Drosley at a breakfast held at the golden Anchor Inn near Holbom this he took money to rent 17 Gough Square, in which he set up his dictionary workshop.
James Boswell, his biographer, described the garret where Johnson worked as fitted up like a counting house with a long desk running down the muddle at which the copying clerks would stand up.
Johnson him self was stationed on rickety chair at an old crazy deal table’ surrounded by a chaos of borrowed books. He was also helped by six assistants, two of whom died whilst the dictionary was still in preparation. The work was immense, filling about eighty large notebooks (and without a library to hand.) Johnson wrote the definition of over 40.000 words, and illustrated their many meaning with some 114.000 quotations drawn from the Elizabethans to his own time. He did not expect to achieve complete originality. Working to a deadline, he had to draw on the best of all previous dictionaries. And to make his work one of heroic synthesis, in fact, it was very much more. Unlike his predecessors, Johnson treated English very practically, as a living language with many different shades of meaning. He adopted his definitions on the principle of English common law according to precedent. After its publication, his dictionary was not seriously yelled for over a century.
After many vicissitudes the dictionary was finally published on 15 April 1775, it was instantly recognized as a landmark throughout Europe. This very noble work wrote the leading Italian lexicographer, will be a perpetual monument of fame to the Author, an honour to his own country particular, and a general benefit to the republic of letters throughout Europe. The fact that Johnson had taken on the Academies of Europe and matched them (everyone knew that forty French academics had taken forty years to produce the first French national dictionary) was cause for much English celebration.
Johnson had worked for nine years, with little assistance of the learned, and without any patronage of the great not in the soft obscurities of retirement or under the shelter of academic bowers, but amidst \inconvenience and distraction, in sickness and in sorrow. For all its faults and eccentricities his two –volume work is a masterpiece and a landmark, in his own words, setting the orthography, displaying the analogy, regulating the structures and ascertaining the significations of English words. It is the cornerstone of Standard English, an achievement which, in James Boswell’s words, conferred stability on the language of his country.
The dictionary together with his other writing made Johnson famous and so well esteemed that his friends were able to prevail upon King George III to order him pension. From then on he was to become the Johnson of folklore.
