In 1807 Noah Webster began his greatest work, An American Dictionary of the English Language. In preparing the manuscript (手稿) he devoted ten years to the study of English and its relationship to other languages, and seven more years to the writing itself. Published in two volumes in 1828, An American Dictionary of the English Language has become the recognized authority for usage in the United States. Webster’s purpose in writing it was to demonstrate that the American language was developing distinct (明显的)meanings, pronunciations, and spellings from those of British English. He is responsible for advancing simplified spelling forms: develope instead of the British form develop; theater and center instead of theatre and centre; color and honor instead of colour and honour.
