Challenging the perception of dictionaries as neutral references, this book argues that the English dictionary reflects ethnocentric biases. It explores how language is shaped by cultural perspectives, suggesting that dictionaries not only define words but also influence societal views and values. The work invites readers to reconsider the role of language in shaping identity and cultural understanding.
