New Oxford American Dictionary 3rd Edition: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "New Oxford American Dictionary 3rd Edition" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
The dictionary draws on the two-billion-word Oxford English Corpus and the unrivaled citation files of the world-renownedOxford English Dictionaryto provide the most accurate and richly descriptive picture of American English ever offered in any dictionary. TheThird Editionoffers a thoroughly updated text, with revisions throughout and approximately 2,000 new words, phrases, and meanings. Many new words relate to fast-moving areas such as computing, technology, current affairs, and ecology, while others have recently entered the popular lexicon. Usage notes have been updated in light of the most recent Corpus evidence, and a completely new in-text feature on Word Trends charts usage for rapidly changing words and phrases such ascarbon, mobile,ortweet. In addition, the volume has an attractive, modern new text design that makes entries easier to read and find.
One of the hallmarks of theNew Oxford American Dictionaryis the way it reflects the living language. Unlike in more traditional dictionaries, where meanings are ordered chronologically according to the history of the language, each entry plainly shows the principal meaning or meanings of the word, organized by importance in todays English. Thus readers can be confident that the first definition they see is the one most likely to be used by people today, and is not a sense that has been obsolete for two centuries.
Offering clear, authoritative, and precise information, with the in-depth and up-to-date coverage that users need and expect, theNew Oxford American Dictionaryis the benchmark by which all other American dictionaries are measured.
