TheOxford English Dictionary is the accepted authority on the evolution ofthe English language over the last millennium. It is an unsurpassedguide to the meaning, history, and pronunciation of over half a millionwords, both present and past. It traces the usage of words through 2.5million quotations from a wide range of international English languagesources, from classic literature and specialist periodicals to filmscripts and cookery books.


The OEDcovers words from across the English-speaking world, from North Americato South Africa, from Australia and New Zealand to the Caribbean. Italso offers the best in etymological analysis and in listing of variantspellings, and it shows pronunciation using the International PhoneticAlphabet.

As the OED is a historical dictionary, its entrystructure is very different from that of a dictionary of currentEnglish, in which only present-day senses are covered, and in which themost common meanings or senses are described first. For each word inthe OED, the various groupings of senses are dealt with inchronological order according to the quotation evidence, i.e. thesenses with the earliest quotations appear first, and the senses whichhave developed more recently appear further down the entry. In acomplex entry with many strands, the development over time can be seenin a structure with several branches.
