Produktbeschreibungen

Amazon.com

The Oxford English Dictionary has long been considered the ultimate reference work in English lexicography. Compiled by the legendary editor James Murray and a staff of brilliant philologists and lexicographers (not to mention one homicidal maniac), the OED was originally conceived in 1857 as a four-volume set, but by the time the last volume was published in 1928, it had swelled to 10 volumes containing over 400,000 entries. In the years since, the staff of the OED has continued to keep pace with our ever-evolving language, and today the dictionary weighs in at a whopping 20 volumes. The great joy of this dictionary lies in its extensive cross-references and word etymologies, which can run a full page or more. These features not only make the OED the most comprehensive and authoritative dictionary of the English language, but a delight to browse.

Pressestimmen

The OED has been to me a teacher, a companion, a source of endless discovery. I could not have become a writer without it.-- Anthony Burgess The greatest treasure of wordsall the raw material a writer needs for a lifetime of work.-- Annie Proulx The Oxford English Dictionary is more than a national monument to lexicography. The vast storehouse of the words and phrases that constitute the vocabulary of the English-speaking people is the ultimate authority on the English language as well as a history of English speech and thought from its infancy to the present day.-- The Times The gigantic total picture of the English languagean epic achievement.-- The Observer The greatest dictionary ever compiled.-- Sunday Telegraph The greatest dictionary in any language.-- The Telegraph It is a remarkable work of scholarship, and must rank high among the wonders of the world of learning.-- The Times Educational Supplement The greatest work in dictionary making ever undertaken.-- The New York Times

Simply the only dictionary that matters.

Big words. Small words. Name a word... it is in here. Even my last name counts as a word in the English language. I've never heard it used in conversation, but "trendl" is in there with plenty of variant meanings and literary references.

It isn't for everyone. Who needs a huge multi-volume dictionary... keeping in mind multi means what multi should mean... many? However, for those days when TV is a drag, NPR seems like the same old shows rescripted and you just don't feel like doing anything... browse, browse, browse!

Get lost in the incidental words of the English language. Look up one word, and find a hundred more twice as fun as the one before. You'll never use any of them short of a good game of Scrabble or the GRE verbal exam. Who cares!

Words are delicious and full of stories. Read about the them here in delectable detail and glory. Chew on each morsel of etymological insight...

Of course, it costs a fortune. And the CD Rom doesn't work on Macs. But those details can be overlooked if you have the money and shelfspace for the print editions.

By the way, if you buy the big OED... get a copy of one of the guides to help you through this thing. As enjoyable as the OED is, it is big and prepared by people who like abbreviating important things.

I fully recommend the OED.

Anthony Trendl

I fear for the future of the bound edition. The CD-ROM set (of the same title) is so easy to use, and so fast. Some pleasures are intended to be slow and luxurious, to be complete and to contain a surprise association not previously linked in our thoughts.

The internet may supplant the OED in volume and speed, but not in scholarship. Long may it wave!

The price is great, the dictionary is even greater. This goal for this version was that it become the definitive work on English words, usage and etymology. Did it succeed? Well, not really ... though blame the English language. So many new words have been added in the past 10 years that a massive 2 volume supplement was released in 1994 with over 50,000 new definitions. (Consider, how much has changed since than, with the rise of the Internet words such as "web" and "surf" have taken on new meanings.) Well, a new Oxford will be released in mid to late 2000 - and this great price is a way to clear inventory. I own this version, I will also own the new, but if you want only one dictionary I think you will be much better off waiting for the 3rd edition (which will also be on CD-ROM, with a much more efficient search engine and user interface then found on the 2nd).
