The Concise Australian National Dictionary by Joan Hughes Pdf

Australian English is a unique record of a country's history, and of the preoccupations and attitudes of its people. Each of the 10,000 words which make up the Australian contribution to the English language has its own fascinating history. The Concise Australian National Dictionary contains all 10,000 words found in The Australian National Dictionary, which Oxford published in 1988. It includes combinations and collocations, as well as definitions, etymologies, and pronunciations. For each word listed the earliest citation is given, along with at least one other quotation. It therefore traces, informatively and comprehensively, all those words which were coined in Australia, which have a wider currency in Australia than elsewhere, or which have special significance in Australian history. A virtual compendium of the national temperaments, it is a rich slice of Australia's linguistic, cultural, and social identity.

Australian Concise Oxford Dictionary 5th Edition by Bruce Moore Pdf

The Australian Concise Oxford Dictionary provides an authoritative description of Australian and international English that is unrivalled by other concise dictionaries. This fifth edition has been thoroughly revised and updated, with hundreds of new words you won't find in any other dictionary. It provides unmatched coverage of Australian English for a dictionary in this format. It presents those words that are current and relevant in the Australian context. No other Australian dictionary can claim its authority. This authority has two bases: the Australian and the international. The dictionary was fully edited at the Australian National Dictionary Centre in Canberra. Through Oxford University Press, the editor, Dr Bruce Moore, had access to the most comprehensive database of the English language as it is used worldwide-the same database that informs the twenty-volume Oxford English Dictionary-and to the most recent distillation of it in the Concise Oxford Dictionary. Through the Centre, the editor also had access to the largest citation database of Australian English, the source of Oxford's Australian National Dictionary. The fifth edition of the Australian Concise Oxford Dictionary is another product of this union, and heralds a new era in Australian lexicography.
