Author's Description
Pocket Oxford English Dictionary
First Published in 1924
This is a reissue of the ninth edition of the world's longest-established pocket
English dictionary by Oxford University Press. It is one of the new generation Oxford dictionaries derived from the database of the
highly acclaimed New Oxford Dictionary of English and is particularly user friendly with its elegant
open design, with different elements starting on new lines. It offers excellent coverage of English as an
international language and thousands of examples illustrate idiomatic usage. All irregular noun, verb,
and adjectival inflections are spelled out in full, while guidance on grammar and good usage is
provided by in-text notes. Additional features include Wordbuilder boxes giving information on related
words and thematic tables on subjects such as countries, chemical elements, and nationalities.
