Revised and updated with thousands of new words drawn from the on-going research for the third edition of the "Oxford English Dictionary", this combination of print dictionary and CD-ROM offers a variety of earching facilities, enabling you to find the information you require instantly as well as audio pronunciation of thousands of words.
In total there are over 83,000 illustrative quotations from 7,000 authors. There is extensive coverage of scientific and technical English as well as English from around the world. The Dictionary is written on historical principles: entries show the historical development of words by listing meanings chronologically and giving datings for the first use of each sense. All major words used in English after 1700, as well as vocabulary from Shakespeare, Milton, Spenser, and the King James Bible, are included; many rare and obsolete words are also defined.
