Yesterday I grew more interested in publishers of dictionaries and found out that they are in fact
crooks. The Fryske Akademy published through the “Matthias de Vries-Genootschap” different articles about ‘Dictionary Criminality’ of which this is a great summary. It is a real shame it is in Dutch only ;)
The ‘Dictionary Criminality’ (in German: ‘Wörterbuchkriminalität’) was brought to the world by the German lexicographer Professor Dr. phil. Dr. phil. habil. Franz Josef Hausmann.
We are talking fraud with prints, editions, plundering of (partial) worldlist, plagiarism and the same dictionary in new cover here!
Tell the crooks to crab off…
