新牛津英语词典 (1998)

新牛津英语词典（The Oxford Dictionary of English (ODE)）是一部由牛津大学出版社出版的单卷英语词典，第一版以The New Oxford Dictionary of English (NODE)（新牛津英语词典）之名于1998年出版。2003年出版第二版时，书名中的“New”一词被删去。该词典并不是基于牛津英语词典（Oxford English Dictionary）（OED）编撰而成的，因此不应误认为是后者的更新版本。新牛津英语词典是一部尽可能如实地收录当代英语单词释义及用法的英语词典，与含有历史释义的牛津英语词典等历史词典不同。

该词典的第二修订版（The Revised Second Edition）包含355,000个单词短语及释义，包括传记引文及上千的百科词条。2010年出版的第三版新增了包括“vuvuzela”等单词在内的部分新词。

该词典目前为牛津大学出版社出版的最大的单卷英语词典。

The Oxford Dictionary of English (ODE) is a single-volume English dictionary published by Oxford University Press, first published in 1998 as The New Oxford Dictionary of English (NODE). The word "New" was dropped from the title with the Second Edition in 2003. The dictionary is not based on the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) – it is a separate dictionary which strives to represent faithfully the current usage of English words. The Revised Second Edition contains 355,000 words, phrases, and definitions, including biographical references and thousands of encyclopaedic entries. The Third Edition was published in August 2010, with some new words, including vuvuzela.

It is currently the largest single-volume English-language dictionary published by Oxford University Press, but is much smaller than the comprehensive Oxford English Dictionary, which is published in multiple volumes.

Editorial principles and practices

The first editor, Judy Pearsall, wrote in the introduction that it is based on a modern understanding of language and is derived from a corpus of contemporary English usage. For example, the editors did not discourage split infinitives, but instead justified their use in some contexts. The first edition was based on bodies of texts such as the British National Corpus and the citation database of the Oxford Reading Programme.

The dictionary "views the language from the perspective that English is a world language", and includes coverage of English usage from the United States to the Caribbean and New Zealand.

Pronunciations of common, everyday words were omitted. The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is used to present pronunciations, which are based on Received Pronunciation.

The Second Edition added over 3,000 new words, senses and phrases drawn from the Oxford English Corpus.

The New Oxford American Dictionary is the American version of the Oxford Dictionary of English, with substantial editing and uses a diacritical respelling scheme rather than the IPA system.

The third editions of both texts were published in 2010, and form the basis of the ongoing electronic versions of the dictionaries. Both are edited by Angus Stevenson, who contributed to the first edition of the Oxford Dictionary of English.
