	Oxford English Dictionary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Trench played a key role in the first months of the project, but his ecclesiastical career meant that he could not give the dictionary the continued attention that it needed over a period that, it was realized, might easily be as long as ten years.
		But, retyping the text alone was not sufficient; all the information represented by the complex typography of the original dictionary had to be retained, which was done by marking up the content in SGML; and a specialized search engine and display software were also needed to access it.
		While huge, the OED is not the largest dictionary; that distinction goes to the Dutch Woordenboek der Nederlandsche Taal, which had similar goals, but took about twice as long to complete.

		Any dictionary which comes from Oxford University Press (whose origins lie in the Middle Ages, the foundation of the university and the dawn of printing) tends to be in a different league from its competitors.
		The New Oxford Dictionary of English was first published in 1998 and quickly established itself as the foremost single-volume authority on the English language.
		The Oxford Dictionary of English is at the forefront of language research, focusing on English as it is used today, informed by the most up-to-date evidence and the latest research from the Oxford English Corpus.

		Given some of the advance publicity and advertisements, Oxford is clearly aware that to win in the dictionary wars (at least in the eyes of the general public), it is necessary to emphasize newer words added to the dictionary.
		The micrographic Compact Oxford Dictionary is certainly more exhaustive but is a real pain in the gluteus maximus to use (e.g., the eyestrain it inflicts, even with the big magnifying glass, etc).
		Oxford Publishing made a big, big mistake in going from a two-volume set with four OED pages reproduced onto each page to a one-volume tome with nine OED pages reproduced onto each page when they published the second edition of the Compact Oxford Dictionary.

		Now, this greatest of all dictionaries appears in a new Second Edition--the first up-to-date coverage of words and meanings in one alphabetical sequence since the original dictionary was published in 1928.
		Other features distinguishing the entries in the dictionary are the most authoritative definitions, detailed information on pronunciation, variant spellings throughout each word's history, extensive treatment of etymology, and details of area of usage and of any regional characteristics (including geographical origins).
		A dictionary like no other in the world, the OED has been described as "among the wonders of the world of scholarship." With the publication of the Second Edition, that statement is today more apt than it ever has been.

		The Oxford Latin Dictionary is a comprehensive and authoritative reference work for students, teachers, professionals, and general readers interested in classical language and literature, ancient history, medieval studies, languages, art history, ancient philosophy, religion, archaeology, law, medicine, and natural science.
		The dictionary can also be set as a KeyLink destination for Latin text, which means you can double-click on a Latin word anywhere in your digital library and jump directly to that word's definition in the dictionary.
		The dictionary is full of abbreviations (in fact, the "Aids to the Reader" section which lists them all runs to 14 printed pages!), but in the Logos edition discovering what an abbreviation means is as simple as passing your mouse over it.

	Worldandnation: Oxford dictionary shows off new 'bling-bling'
		Among the 187,000 definitions in the latest edition, published by Oxford University Press, there also is bevvy - British slang for a beer; head-case, referring to a person who exhibits irrational behavior; and bling-bling, a reference to elaborate jewelry and clothing and the appreciation of it.
		Other corporate-speak considered established enough for inclusion in the dictionary includes dot-coms, or Internet companies, and blipverts, subliminal TV adverts of just a few seconds' duration.
		Orcs are defined as "members of an imaginary race of ugly, aggressive human-like creatures." The dictionary says the word probably comes from the Latin orcus, meaning hell, or the Italian orco, meaning monster.

		This dictionary is unequalled (see the praise of all the other reviewers, with whom I agree regarding the quality of this reference).
		It's nice as an object, but as a functional dictionary it proves to be rather inconvenient - especially if you don't have a nice big stand for it to rest on, which I don't.
		I thought to sell such a dictionary you'd have to be able to read it with the magnifier or what was the use but it really is a challenge so how much time do you want to spend looking around for a word and strain while trying to focus and read.

		The text of the dictionary and the thesaurus seem to be based on that of the Concise Oxford Dictionary and the Concise Oxford Thesaurus.
		If you feel comfortable with using a Windows program, it would be rather better value to buy the Oxford Pop-Up English Language Reference Shelf instead, at £29.99, which also gives you the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations and the Oxford World Encyclopedia, and has the advantage of being electronically searchable.
		This gives you about the same amount of dictionary text and much better value in thesaurus, plus the advantage of works that are more easily carried and handled than this great slab of a book (which weighs about 3kg or 7lb).

		The OED is the dictionary of record for the English language.
		First published between 1884 and 1928, the dictionary is currently undergoing its first major revision and updating.
		Traditionally the English language in the United Kingdom has developed without state guidance or control, and as a result there is no official language institute or academy within the UK charged with language planning and related matters (nor any perceived requirement that one should exist).
