The preparation of dictionaries, of all types and for all ages, has been a central part of its activities for more than 100 years.
What makes Oxford dictionaries unique?
Oxford's reputation as the world's leading dictionary-maker is founded on the Oxford EngUsh Dictionary, 'the greatest dictionary in any language'. It is an unsurpassed guide to the meaning, history, and pronunciation of over half a million words, covering both current and historical usage. It defines the language of the entire English-speaking world, from North America to South Africa, from Australia and New Zealand to the Caribbean.
The Oxford English Corpus
How are the words of our language actually used? What are the most frequently used meanings of common words? To answer such questions accurately, Oxford lexicographers use the Oxford English Corpus, an unrivalled balanced collection of hundreds of millions of words of text representing every kind of writing and speech.
About the Oxford English Dictionary
Oxford maintains a continuous programme of research into changes in the English language, as well as further study of its historical development. Oxford offers the only dictionary range that combines unrivalled scholarship with accessibility for a general readership.
The Oxford English Dictionary (OED), like its abridged version, the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, is written on historical principles and traces the development of each word's meaning and form from its first appearance in English. Oxford's other English dictionaries, following the style of the ground-breaking New Oxford Dictionary of English (1998), present words according to their use and frequency in modern English.
The Second Edition of the OED is available as a 20-volume print edition and on CD-ROM, and now also online at WWW.oed.com. Updated quarterly with at least 1,500 new and revised entries, OED Online offers unparalleled access to the 'greatest continuing work of scholarship that this century has produced' (Newsweek).
With its wide range of dictionaries both in print and electronic form, Oxford meets aU dictionary-user needs. Vissza
