Erin McKean, editor and lexicographer for the New Oxford American
Dictionary, tells Google the ten things she wishes people knew about
dictionaries, how people go about making new words, and how
lexicographers use Google.
Erin McKean has wanted to be a lexicographer since she was eight years
old. She has a BA and an MA in Linguistics from the University of
Chicago, where she wrote her master's thesis on the treatment of
phrasal verbs in children's dictionaries. While at the University of
Chicago, she worked as a volunteer at the Chicago Assyrian Dictionary.
Before OUP, Erin spent eight years at Scott Foresman, where she worked
on the Thorndike Barnhart children's dictionaries. Erin is a member of
the American Dialect Society, the American Names Society, and Euralex
and is a member of the board of the Dictionary Society of North
America. Her publications include two papers in Dictionaries, the
journal of the DSNA. She is a computer enthusiast and has given
several presentations on SGML and XML to Chicago Webgrrls. When not
writing dictionaries or editing VERBATIM, she likes to sew completely
impractical clothes from vintage patterns and haunt used bookstores
for copies of Kathleen Norris and E. Phillips Oppenheim novels.
