Included Dictionaries

Based on Oxford's vast corpus of
contemporary English, the

ODE has been

fully revised to give the most authoritative,
up-to-date picture of English today.
Comprising 355,000 words, phrases,
and definitions — including 3,000 new
words and senses, 73,000 scientific and
technical words and senses, 68,000
examples, and 12,000 encyclopedic
entries — the

ODE puts a goldmine of

knowledge at your fingertips.

The

NOTE presents 600,000 alternative

and opposite words, with example
phrases to convey meanings. Along with
synonyms and antonyms, it also lists
related words and provides explanations
of often-confused words. A vital tool for
all those who care about making their
language more varied, interesting, and
precise.

The ODQ* is Oxford's largest quotations
dictionary, with over 20,000 quotations
from books, films, newspapers, and
speeches.

The ODQ contains

comprehensively indexed quotations from
around 3,000 historical figures, including
authors, politicians, scientists, and artists.
Whether you're writing an essay or
preparing a speech or presentation, this is
one resource you can't afford to be without.

The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations is
included in the PW-E500 model only.
