This book provides a comprehensive survey of the development of the English-Latvian lexicographic tradition considering the extra-linguistic factors which have influenced it. It studies the typical features of English-Latvian dictionaries at various structural levels, pinpoints the problematic aspects of the lexicographic tradition and offers theoretically grounded solutions for improving the quality of future English-Latvian dictionaries.
