Synopsis
The Compact Oxford English Dictionary of Current English is the ideal comprehensive, value-for-money hardback dictionary for office, study, and home use. It provides accessible coverage of everyday English for people who want a less detailed dictionary the the Concise Oxford English
Dictionary. This reissue of the second edition is derived from the acclaimed tenth edition of the Concise Oxford English Dictionary, and uses evidence from the British National Corpus to show English as it is actually used today throughout the English-speaking world. Individual entries are now
clearer, with phrases, derivatives, and etymologies all starting on a new line, and parts of speech, irregular inflections, subject and register labels written out in full. Guidance on points of grammar, usage, and spelling is provided in the shape of usage notes within the text.
