Editorial Reviews

Review


"These volumes reflect not only the richness and diversity of the English language, but also its continually evolving nature." --Reference Books Bulletin


Product Description

This is a series of three volumes supplementing the acclaimed Second Edition of the Oxford English Dictionary. Each volume contains 3,000 new words and meanings presented in the style of the OED. These represent a variety of work-in-progress, covering words and meanings that have recently entered the language, as well as the results of further research on items already included in the Dictionary. With over 12,000 illustrative quotations showing the evolution of each word or meaning, these volumes are not only a testimony to the continual development of our living language, but also make compelling browsing.

5.0 out of 5 stars learning par-excellence, September 12, 2009
With the rampant, seemingly inexorable pace of globalization, it is critical for and, even contingent upon, the individual to gain insight into what links each of us to one another. What informs our world and possesses the real potential to destroy its very fabric is the written word. Ergo, the OED, given its exhaustive etymologies and insight to History's transcribed verbiage, facilitates one's work to strive for what Diogenes of Sinope coined "cosmopolitan," that is 'citizen of the world'.
