Słownikowy groch z kapustą
A Dictionary Hodge-Pogdge

Review: Ilustrowany słownik terminów literackich. Historia, anegdota, etymologia. Red. Zbigniew Kadłubek, Beata Mytych-Forajter, Aleksander Nawarecki. (Gdańsk 2018)

Summary/Abstract: The subject of this negative review is “Ilustrowany słownik terminów literackich” (“An Illustrated Dictionary of Literary Terms”) published in 2018. In the reviewer’s eyes it serves as an example of ineptness and incompetence expressed both in the choice of entries (the key of which is unknown), and in chaos and in general disrespect to the rules of terminological dictionaries preparation. Supposedly, without any harm to scientific values, the dictionary in question is designed to entertain the readers and reveal the expression of editors’ and authors’ fondness, e.g. love of etymology, being more important than the term’s meaning, is declared.
