Oxford English dictionary (English) Oxford English Dictionary, O.E.D.) - one of the most famous academic dictionaries of the English language published by the Oxford University Press publishing house. The 2005 edition contains approximately 301,100 articles (350 million characters).

The dictionary is known by the informal colloquial name "Murry Dictionary" ( Murray's) (after the surname of the first editor-in-chief - James Murray).

History of development

The dictionary was conceived by the London Philological Society back in 1857. The project for the future dictionary was formulated in 1859, when a detailed Proposal for the publication of a new English dictionary was published. James Murray was appointed editor. Henry Bradley and William Craigie also worked on the dictionary.

British linguistic (world famous dictionary)

A. The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) was first published in 1933, although work on them began in 1879, but in 1857 the London Philological Society published its main thesis: “A Dictionary there is a historical monument, the history of the nation.” In 1989, the 2nd edition appeared in 20 volumes on 21,730 pages and weighing 62.6 kg (2 CD weighs approximately 34 g), having more than 615 thousand words and about 2.5 million citations. The most frequently quoted author is Shakespeare. In 1993-1994 3 additional volumes were published. Now large amounts of money have been spent on its re-release (Revision): until 2010, the British allocated as much as 34,000,000 pounds of people's money! It’s clear that they don’t mind the “monument”...

Since August 2010, the publishers of the Great Oxford Dictionary have stopped publishing its paper version. An annual subscription to the online OED costs £240 (about $372) for UK citizens and $295 for Americans.

9 Oxford Dictionary of English

linguistic

Previously called The New Oxford Dictionary of English - "The New Oxford English Dictionary" (this is not the same as the Oxford English Dictionary (OED)). The first edition of this dictionary was published in 1998; the goal of its creators was to reflect in the book the state of the “living” English language. The second edition was released in 2005 and included approximately 355 thousand words.

11 Pocket Oxford Dictionary

12 POD

linguistic Pocket Oxford Dictionary (POD) = Pocket Oxford Dictionary with approximately 50 thousand words, 140 thousand meanings - shocking simplicity + super concept in presenting relevant information English vocabulary with an obviously very frivolous name, it has been published since 1924 - still far from the smallest among the Oxfords. A lot of information is given: examples and illustrations for each meaning of the word, etymology, word compatibility and phraseology. Pronunciation is not provided, but a Text-to-Speech converter can be used. It's amazing how a small "no frills" dictionary can provide so much useful information, which significantly expands the possibilities of its application. To avoid terrible disappointment, you should “start” with POD, and not with OED. And the parallel “paper” version will be cheaper. Well, finally, the main argument: If the laptop is very old, with little hard drive, and you need to have a compact dictionary (4Mb), then don’t hesitate to start installing POD. You won't regret it. For everyone will find something for themselves in it: everything about it - both the “what” and the “how” - is simply amazing!

Concise Oxford Dictionary is designed for a wide range of quasi-ordinary readers, as well as for those studying English as a foreign language.

16 Webster's New International Dictionary of the English Language

linguistic Webster's Third New International Dictionary of the English Language, Unabridged. G. & C. Merriam Co., Springfield, Mass. – Original, encyclopedic. The American standard for authority and sophisticated comprehensiveness. Should be in every court and administrative institution. For the first time original Webster was published in 1828 (this first edition can still be purchased on Amazon online), and the modern 3rd edition was published in 1961, reissued with additions on CD in 2000 (again the 3rd edition). 450 thousand words, special terminology makes up 23.5%. 200 thousand literary quotations are given in interpretations of individual word meanings. Based on a file of 10 million quotes. For comparison: The Great Oxford Dictionary is based on a card index of 5 million quotations. However... there is one very significant “BUT”! – The dictionary does not contain proper names and no information about the origin of names can be found there: Where did, for example, the names Bill, Gerry, etc. come from? - Look for...

In the Collegiate format, the company publishes a dictionary with an annual reissue for universities and updating of new terminology (both words and meanings) with a volume of about 150 thousand words. In general, an incredible number of Webster dictionaries are published in the world that have nothing to do with the original one. Self-respecting publishers directly indicate that their Webster is “not the same” (well, in very small print, really). Others are trying to make money by simply not saying anything at all. The very same company G. & C. Merriam Co. - not so long ago - acquired the Encyclopedia Britannica (which is why Webster appeared in it)!

Excerpt from the Oxford English Dictionary

- What is this??? – I whispered quietly, afraid to scare him away. – Could this be real?..
- This is the Holy City, dear. City of our Gods. He’s been gone for a very long time...” Isten said quietly. - This is where we all once came from... Only on Earth no one remembers him - then, suddenly catching himself, he added: - Be careful, dear, it will be hard for you. No need to look anymore.
But I wanted more!.. Some kind of scorching thirst burned my brain, begging me not to stop! The unfamiliar world beckoned and bewitched with its pristineness!.. I wanted to plunge into it headlong and, plunging deeper and deeper, draw from it endlessly, without missing a single moment, without wasting a single precious minute... which, as I understood, there was very, very little of me left here... Each new plate revealed itself to me with thousands of stunning images, which were surprisingly bright and now somehow understandable, as if I had suddenly found a magic key to them that had long been lost by someone. Time flew by, but I didn’t notice it... I wanted more and more. And it was very scary that right now someone would definitely stop me, and it would be time to leave this wonderful storehouse of someone’s incredible memory, which I would never again be able to comprehend. It was very sad and painful, but, unfortunately, I had no way back. I chose my life myself and was not going to renounce it. Even if it was incredibly difficult...
- Well, that's all, honey. I can't show you anymore. You are an “apostate” who did not want to find out... And your way here is closed. But I’m sincerely sorry, Isidora... You have a great Gift! You could easily DO all this... If you wanted to. Not everyone has it that easy... Your nature craves it. But you chose a different path, so you must leave now. My thoughts will be with you, child of Light. Walk with FAITH, let it help you. Goodbye Isidora...
The room disappeared... We found ourselves in some other stone room, also filled with many scrolls, but they looked different, perhaps not as ancient as the previous ones. I suddenly felt very sad... To the point of pain in my soul, I wanted to comprehend these other people’s “secrets”, to see the wealth hidden in them, but I left... never to return here.
- Think, Isidora! – as if sensing my doubt, Sever said quietly. – You haven’t left yet, stay.
I just shook my head negatively...
Suddenly my attention was attracted by an already familiar, but still incomprehensible phenomenon - as we moved forward, the room lengthened here as we walked further. But if in the previous room I didn’t see a soul, then here, as soon as I looked around, I saw a lot of people - young and old, men and women. There were even children here!.. They were all studying something very carefully, completely withdrawing into themselves, and detachedly comprehending some “wise truths”... Not paying any attention to those who entered.
– Who are all these people, North? Do they live here? – I asked in a whisper.
– These are Witches and Sorcerers, Isidora. Your father was once one of them... We train them.
My heart ached... I wanted to howl like a wolf, feeling sorry for myself and my short life. lost life!.. Having abandoned everything, sit down with them, with these happy Sorcerers and Witches, in order to know with your mind and heart the whole depth of the wonderful, great KNOWLEDGE so generously revealed to them! Burning tears were ready to flow like a river, but I tried with all my might to somehow hold them back. There was no way to do this, since tears were another “forbidden luxury” to which I had no right if I considered myself a real Warrior. The soldiers did not cry. They fought and won, and if they died, it certainly wasn’t with tears in their eyes... Apparently, I was just very tired. From loneliness and pain... From constant fear for my relatives... From an endless struggle in which I did not have the slightest hope of emerging victorious. I really needed a sip fresh air, and this air for me was my daughter, Anna. But for some reason, she was nowhere to be seen, although I knew that Anna was here, with them, on this wonderful and strange, “closed” land.
