English language - New words - DictionariesClass number: 423 Abstract: In 1998 we celebrated both the centenary of the birth of A S Hornby, the creator of the Advanced Learner's Dictionary and the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of the dictionary by Oxford University Press. Hornby's great contribution lo lexicography was to apply his experience as a teacher of English to producing a dictionary that met the needs of learners, and his success can be measured by the fact that the Advanced Learner's has become one of the bestselling books of all time. Now, in the first year of the new millennium, this edition, the sixth, breaks new ground, sharpening further the learner-centered focus of (he original We have learnt a great deal from our research into how learners use dictionaries and benefited from suggestions from very many teachers and students.
Dictionary users need to be able to find the information they need quickly, understand it once they have found it, and make use of it in their own speaking or writing. This dictionary arranges and presents information in a clear way, using short cuts in longer entries to help the user pinpoint the meaning they are looking for. The definitions are all written using a defining vocabulary of just under 3000 words, 500 fewer than in the previous edition. This defining vocabulary (listed on page 1592) includes all the items used in definitions and is not made artificially shorter by allowing prefixes and suffixes to be attached to the stem of a listed word. Learners can be sure that, if they are familiar with the words in this list, the definitions in the dictionary will pose no problems.
Our new usage notes, word-family boxes, topic and study pages show links between vocabulary items and, together with the userfriendly help notes, give invaluable guidance on usage. The origin notes provide fascinating insights into the etymology of some colorful words and expressions. All these features ensure that less experienced learners receive all the support they need, while the most advanced will always find something new and interesting to challenge them.
