Preface
The first edition of the groundbreaking New Oxford Dictionary of English was published in 1998. For this third edition, now called simply the Oxford Dictionary of English , more than 2,000 new words, senses, and phrases have been added, and key areas of vocabulary have been reanalysed, reviewed, and revised. Fast-moving areas such as computing, mobile technology, the media, finance, and the environment have provided many of the new terms, and there is also a great deal of new informal and slang material.
New entries tend to be the focus of attention when a dictionary is published, but in the case of this edition the revisions to existing entries are at least as significant. More than 70 per cent of UK households now have Internet access. People not only work and access information and entertainment online, but also carry on their social lives via the Internet. These changes in society are reflected in the language, and in the dictionary: items of core vocabulary such as bookmark, browse, favourite, feed , and friend now have new meanings, and other computing-related definitions have been revised to take account of the fact that computers are now part of everyday life.
