The 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary is the accepted authority on the evolution of the English language over the last millennium. It traces the usage of words through 2.4 million quotations from a wide range of international English language sources.The OED has a unique historical focus. Accompanying each definition is a chronologically arranged group of quotations that trace the usage of words, and show the contexts in which they can be used. The quotations are drawn from a huge variety of sources worldwide - literary, scholarly, technical,and popular - and represent authors as disparate as Geoffrey Chaucer and Erica Jong, William Shakespeare, Charles Darwin and Isabella Beeton.Other features distinguishing the entries in the Dictionary are authoritative definitions; detailed information on pronunciation using the International Phonetic Alphabet; listings of variant spellings used throughout each word's history; extensive treatment of etymology; and details of area ofusage and of any regional characteristics.Alongside the print edition is the Oxford English Dictionary online (www.oed.com). Updated quarterly, this award-winning online resource allows the Dictionary to evolve with the English language while the print edition remains as a historical record. Subscriptions are available to OED online on anindividual or institutional basis. Visit www.oup.com/online/oed/ for details.… (altro)
Si dice che, in termini di lavoro, questa è la più grande opera mai realizzata nella storia dell’editoria, in qualsiasi nazione, su qualsiasi argomento, in qualsiasi lingua. Una cosa talmente grande che davvero non mi permetto di dare un giudizio. Purtroppo, molti dicono che la nuova versione su CD (che non ho) spesso funziona male (vai a vedere cosa ne dicono su Amazon), e ti posso assicurare che la vecchia versione per Win95 funziona spesso male su Win2000. Il confronto con il Webster’s Third/Unabridged è più o meno così: OED – 500.000 voci, Webster’s – 450.000. Dato che tantissime voci compaiono in uno ma non nell’altro, insieme si dice che contengono circa 700.000, quindi a mio avviso averli tutti e due rimane comunque un’opzione da prendere in considerazione.
