Concise Oxford English Dictionary

This reissue of the revised edition of the "Concise Oxford English Dictionary" brings the tenth edition completely up to date by the addition of hundreds of new words and meanings taken from Oxford's data collection programme, with a special focus on fast-changing areas of the language such as new technology, e-commerce, fashion, and youth culture. In addition there is a new 40-page section including information on countries and nationalities, alphabets and accents, weights and measures, and a games and puzzles wordfinder. There is also a new grammar guide and a section covering the language emerging through new technologies such as SMS.
