About this title

Synopsis

The Compact Oxford English Dictionary of Current English third edition is a major new edition of the Compact Oxford English Dictionary of Current English second edition (2001, revised edition published 2003). This new edition has been completely revised to make it the perfect choice for general family reference as well as for use in the office or secondary school: definitions are clearer and simpler to understand, there are thousands more examples showing words in use, and also lots of new usage notes and extra help with pronunciation of tricky words. In addition, there is a substantial new centre section, Effective English, which provides practical help on achieving good English in everyday situations such as writing CVs and letters of complaint. A new two-colour text design ensures that the dictionary is both accessible and attractive for the general user.
