	Lachlan Macquarie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lachlan Macquarie was born on the island of Ulva off the coast of the Isle of Mull in the Inner Hebrides, a chain of islands off the West Coast of Scotland.
		Macquarie's policies, especially his championing of the emancipists and the lavish expenditure of government money on public works, aroused opposition both in the colony and in London, where the government still saw New South Wales as a place to dump convicts and not as a future dominion of the Empire.
		Macquarie was buried on the Isle of Mull in a remote mausoleum with his wife and son.

	LINGUIST List 7.694: English as an Asian Language
		Macquarie is actively involved in discussions of language and usage matters at such forums as Style Council, an annual conference in Australia for people interested in all aspects of writing.
		Macquarie's interest in English in Asia has led it to establish the first corpus of English in Asia, that is, a growing computer-store collection of writings in Asian Englishes, which will provide basic hard data for Macquarie's program of definition writing.
		Susan is now Executive Editor of The Macquarie Library Pty Ltd and as such is involved in the policy-making which influences the range of lexicographical projects currently undertaken by The Macquarie Library Pty Ltd. Her current interests are in developing alongside a corpus of Australian English, a corpus of English in Asia.

	University Review
		The Dictionary Research Centre was established at Macquarie University in 1986, in association with the School of English and Linguistics and the Macquarie Dictionary.
		The Macquarie Dictionary itself is produced by an independent commercial entity (Macquarie Library Pty Ltd), which is contracted to Macquarie University over matters of intellectual property and the distribution of royalties.
		Macquarie Library Pty Ltd does not provide direct financial support for the Dictionary Research Centre or for research staff, so the relationship between the commercial and academic partners is different from that between Oxford University Press and the Australian National Dictionary Centre established at the Australian National University in Canberra.

	Dictionary - Gurupedia
		In dictionaries between a language using a non-Roman script and English, entry words in the non-English language may either be printed and sorted in the native order, or romanized and sorted in Roman alphabetical order.
		Dictionaries also differ in the degree to which they are encyclopedic, providing considerable background information, illustrations, and the like, or linguistic, concentrating on etymology, nuances of meaning, and quotations demonstrating usage.
		The dictionary functions chosen by the maker(s) of the dictionary provide the basis for all lexicographic decisions, from the selection of entry words, over the choice of information types, to the choice of place for the information (e.g.

	Sociolinguistics of Australian English--Emily Trekell
		The existence of the Macquarie Dictionary, considered the national dictionary of Australia, proves that AE is indeed real.
		However, dictionaries such as the Macquarie have not always been in publication; in fact, the birth year of AE is considered to be as late as 1987.
		As a note in the Macquarie Dictionary[14] testifies, although there is only a single Australian dialect, AE does have several speech varieties.

		She stuck with the dictionary through several publishers and many crises when it looked like the great work would go down in history as a grand folly.
		During the 1970s, when the Macquarie team worked out of a cottage they shared with the university's plumbing division, all potential words were entered on index cards and kept in a filing cabinet.
		Beyond the dictionary is the spoken language and unless we have everyone wired up and listen constantly and monitor what everyone says every moment of the day, we're never going to capture the true sources of words and how they evolve.

		It derives from a section of the ABC’s Web site of the same name—run in conjunction with the Macquarie Dictionary—to which listeners were invited to contribute regional words and phrases.
		The editors of the dictionary were surprised and pleased by the response, which showed that regional Australian English was not dying out, as they had feared, but was still very much alive.
		It also turned up terms that they hadn’t heard about, confirming that the spoken language can still surprise lexicographers who are, by the nature of their work, so firmly tied to the written word.
