The dictionary, which published its first edition in 1884, traces the historical development of the English language, providing a comprehensive resource to scholars and academic researchers, and provides ongoing descriptions of English language usage in its variations around the world.<a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a> In 1857, work first began on the dictionary, though the first edition was not published In until 1884. It began to be published in unbound <a href="/wiki/Serial_(literature)" title="Serial (literature)">fascicles</a> as work continued on the project, under the name of A New English Dictionary on Historical Principles; Founded Mainly on the Materials Collected by The Philological Society. In 1895, the title The Oxford English Dictionary was first used unofficially on the covers of the series, and in 1928 the full dictionary was republished in 10 bound volumes. In 1933, the title The Oxford English Dictionary fully replaced the former name in all occurrences in its reprinting as 12 volumes with a one-volume supplement. More supplements came over the years until 1989, when the second edition was published, comprising 21,728 pages in 20 volumes.<a href="#cite_note-Dickson-1">[1]</a> Since 2000, compilation of a third edition of the dictionary has been underway, approximately half of which was complete by 2018.<a href="#cite_note-Dickson-1">[1]</a> In 1988, the first electronic version of the dictionary was made available, and the online version has been available since 2000. By April 2014, it was receiving over two million visits per month. The third edition of the dictionary is expected to be available exclusively in electronic form; the CEO of OUP has stated that it is unlikely that it will ever be printed.<a href="#cite_note-Dickson-1">[1]</a><a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-Simpson-4">[4]</a> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Historical_nature">Historical nature</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Oxford_English_Dictionary&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Historical nature">edit</a>]</div> As a historical dictionary, the Oxford English Dictionary features entries in which the earliest ascertainable recorded sense of a word, whether current or obsolete, is presented first, and each additional sense is presented in historical order according to the date of its earliest ascertainable recorded use.<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a> Following each definition are several brief illustrating quotations presented in chronological order from the earliest ascertainable use of the word in that sense to the last ascertainable use for an obsolete sense, to indicate both its life span and the time since its desuetude, or to a relatively recent use for current ones. The format of the OED's entries has influenced numerous other historical <a href="/wiki/Lexicography" title="Lexicography">lexicography</a> projects. The forerunners to the OED, such as the early volumes of the <a href="/wiki/Deutsches_W%C3%B6rterbuch" title="Deutsches Wörterbuch">Deutsches Wörterbuch</a>, had initially provided few quotations from a limited number of sources, whereas the OED editors preferred larger groups of quite short quotations from a wide selection of authors and publications. This influenced later volumes of this and other lexicographical works.<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Entries_and_relative_size">Entries and relative size</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Oxford_English_Dictionary&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Entries and relative size">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Murray_OED_vocabulary_types_diagram.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/66/Murray_OED_vocabulary_types_diagram.svg/220px-Murray_OED_vocabulary_types_diagram.svg.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="135" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/66/Murray_OED_vocabulary_types_diagram.svg/330px-Murray_OED_vocabulary_types_diagram.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/66/Murray_OED_vocabulary_types_diagram.svg/440px-Murray_OED_vocabulary_types_diagram.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="497" data-file-height="304" /></a><figcaption>Diagram of the types of English vocabulary included in the OED, devised by <a href="/wiki/James_Murray_(lexicographer)" title="James Murray (lexicographer)">James Murray</a>, its first editor</figcaption></figure> According to the publishers, it would take a single person 120 years to "key in" the 59 million words of the OED second edition, 60 years to proofread them, and 540 <a href="/wiki/Megabyte" title="Megabyte">megabytes</a> to store them electronically.<a href="#cite_note-facts2004-7">[7]</a> As of 30 November 2005, the Oxford English Dictionary contained approximately 301,100 main entries.

The dictionary's latest, complete print edition (second edition, 1989) was printed in 20 volumes, comprising 291,500 entries in 21,730 pages. The longest entry in the OED2 was for the verb set, which required 60,000 words to describe some 580 senses (430 for the bare verb, the rest in <a href="/wiki/Phrasal_verb" class="mw-redirect" title="Phrasal verb">phrasal verbs</a> and idioms). As entries began to be revised for the OED3 in sequence starting from M, the record was progressively broken by the verbs make in 2000, then put in 2007, then run in 2011 with 645 senses.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a><a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a><a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> Despite its considerable size, the OED is neither the world's largest nor the earliest exhaustive dictionary of a language.

The society expressed interest in compiling a new dictionary as early as 1844,<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> but it was not until June 1857 that they began by forming an "Unregistered Words Committee" to search for words that were unlisted or poorly defined in current dictionaries. In November, Trench's report was not a list of unregistered words; instead, it was the study On Some Deficiencies in our English Dictionaries, which identified seven distinct shortcomings in contemporary dictionaries:<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a> <ul><li>Incomplete coverage of obsolete words</li> <li>Inconsistent coverage of families of related words</li> <li>Incorrect dates for earliest use of words</li> <li>History of obsolete senses of words often omitted</li> <li>Inadequate distinction among <a href="/wiki/Synonyms" class="mw-redirect" title="Synonyms">synonyms</a></li> <li>Insufficient use of good illustrative quotations</li> <li>Space wasted on inappropriate or redundant content.</li></ul> The society ultimately realized that the number of unlisted words would be far more than the number of words in the English dictionaries of the 19th century, and shifted their idea from covering only words that were not already in English dictionaries to a larger project. Trench suggested that a new, truly comprehensive dictionary was needed. On 7 January 1858, the society formally adopted the idea of a comprehensive new dictionary.<a href="#cite_note-Winchester1999-16">[16]</a>: 107–108  Volunteer readers would be assigned particular books, copying passages illustrating word usage onto quotation slips.

He arrayed 100,000 quotation slips in a 54 pigeon-hole grid.<a href="#cite_note-Mugglestone-20">[20]</a>: 9  In April 1861, the group published the first sample pages; later that month, Coleridge died of <a href="/wiki/Tuberculosis" title="Tuberculosis">tuberculosis</a>, aged 30.<a href="#cite_note-Craigie-19">[19]</a>: x  Thereupon Furnivall became editor; he was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, but temperamentally ill-suited for the work.<a href="#cite_note-Winchester1999-16">[16]</a>: 110  Many volunteer readers eventually lost interest in the project, as Furnivall failed to keep them motivated. Furthermore, many of the slips were misplaced. Furnivall believed that, since many printed texts from earlier centuries were not readily available, it would be impossible for volunteers to efficiently locate the quotations that the dictionary needed. As a result, he founded the <a href="/wiki/Early_English_Text_Society" title="Early English Text Society">Early English Text Society</a> in 1864 and the Chaucer Society in 1868 to publish old manuscripts.<a href="#cite_note-Craigie-19">[19]</a>: xii  Furnivall's preparatory efforts lasted 21 years and provided numerous texts for the use and enjoyment of the general public, as well as crucial sources for lexicographers, but they did not actually involve compiling a dictionary. Furnivall recruited more than 800 volunteers to read these texts and record quotations. While enthusiastic, the volunteers were not well trained and often made inconsistent and arbitrary selections. Ultimately, Furnivall handed over nearly two tons of quotation slips and other materials to his successor.<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a> In the 1870s, Furnivall unsuccessfully attempted to recruit both <a href="/wiki/Henry_Sweet" title="Henry Sweet">Henry Sweet</a> and <a href="/wiki/Henry_Nicol" title="Henry Nicol">Henry Nicol</a> to succeed him. He then approached <a href="/wiki/James_Murray_(lexicographer)" title="James Murray (lexicographer)">James Murray</a>, who accepted the post of editor. In the late 1870s, Furnivall and Murray met with several publishers about publishing the dictionary. In 1878, Oxford University Press agreed with Murray to proceed with the massive project; the agreement was formalized the following year.<a href="#cite_note-Winchester1999-16">[16]</a>: 111–112  20 years after its conception, the dictionary project finally had a publisher.

They were published in 1972, 1976, 1982, and 1986 respectively, bringing the complete dictionary to 16 volumes, or 17 counting the first supplement. Burchfield emphasized the inclusion of modern-day language and, through the supplement, the dictionary was expanded to include a wealth of new words from the burgeoning fields of science and technology, as well as popular culture and colloquial speech. Burchfield said that he broadened the scope to include developments of the language in <a href="/wiki/English-speaking_world" title="English-speaking world">English-speaking regions beyond the United Kingdom</a>, including North America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, Pakistan, and the Caribbean. Burchfield also removed, for unknown reasons, many entries that had been added to the 1933 supplement.<a href="#cite_note-33">[33]</a> In 2012, an analysis by lexicographer Sarah Ogilvie revealed that many of these entries were in fact foreign loanwords, despite Burchfield's claim that he included more such words. The proportion was estimated from a sample calculation to amount to 17% of the foreign <a href="/wiki/Loan_word" class="mw-redirect" title="Loan word">loan words</a> and words from regional forms of English. Some of these had only a single recorded usage, but many had multiple recorded citations, and it ran against what was thought to be the established OED editorial practice and a perception that he had opened up the dictionary to "World English".<a href="#cite_note-34">[34]</a><a href="#cite_note-35">[35]</a><a href="#cite_note-36">[36]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Second_edition">Second edition</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Oxford_English_Dictionary&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Second edition">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1257001546"><table class="infobox vcard"><caption class="infobox-title" style="font-size:125%;

Achieving this would require retyping it once, but thereafter it would always be accessible for computer searching—as well as for whatever new editions of the dictionary might be desired, starting with an integration of the supplementary volumes and the main text. Preparation for this process began in 1983, and editorial work started the following year under the administrative direction of Timothy J.

The word "new" was again dropped from the name, and the second edition of the OED, or the OED2, was published. The first edition <a href="/wiki/Retronym" title="Retronym">retronymically</a> became the OED1. The Oxford English Dictionary 2 was printed in 20 volumes.<a href="#cite_note-Dickson-1">[1]</a> Up to a very late stage, all the volumes of the first edition were started on letter boundaries. For the second edition, there was no attempt to start them on letter boundaries, and they were made roughly equal in size. The 20 volumes started with A, B.B.C., Cham, Creel, Dvandva, Follow, Hat, Interval, Look, Moul, Ow, Poise, Quemadero, Rob, Ser, Soot, Su, Thru, Unemancipated, and Wave. The content of the OED2 is mostly just a reorganization of the earlier corpus, but the retypesetting provided an opportunity for two long-needed format changes.

Much of the information in the dictionary published in 1989 was already decades out of date, though the supplements had made good progress towards incorporating new vocabulary. Yet many definitions contained disproven scientific theories, outdated historical information, and moral values that were no longer widely accepted.<a href="#cite_note-:3-49">[49]</a><a href="#cite_note-50">[50]</a> Furthermore, the supplements had failed to recognize many words in the existing volumes as obsolete by the time of the second edition's publication, meaning that thousands of words were marked as current despite no recent evidence of their use.<a href="#cite_note-51">[51]</a> Accordingly, it was recognized that work on a third edition would have to begin to rectify these problems.<a href="#cite_note-:3-49">[49]</a> The first attempt to produce a new edition came with the Oxford English Dictionary Additions Series, a new set of supplements to complement the OED2 with the intention of producing a third edition from them.<a href="#cite_note-:4-52">[52]</a> The previous supplements appeared in alphabetical instalments, whereas the new series had a full A–Z range of entries within each individual volume, with a complete alphabetical index at the end of all words revised so far, each listed with the volume number which contained the revised entry.<a href="#cite_note-:4-52">[52]</a> However, in the end only three Additions volumes were published this way, two in 1993 and one in 1997,<a href="#cite_note-53">[53]</a><a href="#cite_note-54">[54]</a><a href="#cite_note-55">[55]</a> each containing about 3,000 new definitions.<a href="#cite_note-facts2004-7">[7]</a> The possibilities of the <a href="/wiki/World_Wide_Web" title="World Wide Web">World Wide Web</a> and new computer technology in general meant that the processes of researching the dictionary and of publishing new and revised entries could be vastly improved.

Version 3.0 was released in 2002 with additional words from the OED3 and software improvements. Version 3.1.1 (2007) added support for hard disk installation, so that the user does not have to insert the CD to use the dictionary.

The <a href="/wiki/Shorter_Oxford_English_Dictionary" title="Shorter Oxford English Dictionary">Shorter Oxford English Dictionary</a>, originally started in 1902 and completed in 1933,<a href="#cite_note-82">[82]</a> is an abridgement of the full work that retains the historical focus, but does not include any words which were obsolete before 1700 except those used by <a href="/wiki/Shakespeare" class="mw-redirect" title="Shakespeare">Shakespeare</a>, <a href="/wiki/John_Milton" title="John Milton">Milton</a>, <a href="/wiki/Edmund_Spenser" title="Edmund Spenser">Spenser</a>, and the <a href="/wiki/King_James_Bible" class="mw-redirect" title="King James Bible">King James Bible</a>.<a href="#cite_note-83">[83]</a> A completely new edition was produced from the OED2 and published in 1993,<a href="#cite_note-84">[84]</a> with revisions in 2002 and 2007. The <a href="/wiki/Concise_Oxford_English_Dictionary" title="Concise Oxford English Dictionary">Concise Oxford Dictionary</a> is a different work, which aims to cover current English only, without the historical focus. The original edition, mostly based on the OED1, was edited by <a href="/wiki/Francis_George_Fowler" title="Francis George Fowler">Francis George Fowler</a> and <a href="/wiki/Henry_Watson_Fowler" class="mw-redirect" title="Henry Watson Fowler">Henry Watson Fowler</a> and published in 1911, before the main work was completed.<a href="#cite_note-85">[85]</a> Revised editions appeared throughout the twentieth century to keep it up to date with changes in English usage. The Pocket Oxford Dictionary of Current English was originally conceived by F. G. Fowler and H. W. Fowler to be compressed, compact, and concise. Its primary source is the Oxford English Dictionary, and it is nominally an abridgement of the Concise Oxford Dictionary. It was first published in 1924.<a href="#cite_note-86">[86]</a> In 1998 the <a href="/wiki/New_Oxford_Dictionary_of_English" class="mw-redirect" title="New Oxford Dictionary of English">New Oxford Dictionary of English</a> (NODE) was published. While also aiming to cover current English, NODE was not based on the OED. Instead, it was an entirely new dictionary produced with the aid of <a href="/wiki/Corpus_linguistics" title="Corpus linguistics">corpus linguistics</a>.<a href="#cite_note-87">[87]</a> Once NODE was published, a similarly brand-new edition of the Concise Oxford Dictionary followed, this time based on an abridgement of NODE rather than the OED; NODE (under the new title of the Oxford Dictionary of English, or ODE) continues to be principal source for Oxford's product line of current-English dictionaries, including the <a href="/wiki/New_Oxford_American_Dictionary" title="New Oxford American Dictionary">New Oxford American Dictionary</a>, with the OED now only serving as the basis for scholarly historical dictionaries. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Spelling">Spelling</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Oxford_English_Dictionary&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: Spelling">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Oxford_spelling" title="Oxford spelling">Oxford spelling</a></div> The OED lists British headword spellings (e.g., labour, centre) with variants following (labor, center, etc.). For the suffix more commonly spelt -ise in British English, <a href="/wiki/OUP" class="mw-redirect" title="OUP">OUP</a> policy dictates a preference for the spelling -ize, e.g., realize vs. realise and globalization vs. globalisation. The rationale is etymological, in that the English suffix is mainly derived from the Greek suffix -ιζειν, (-izein), or the Latin -izāre.<a href="#cite_note-88">[88]</a> However, -ze is also sometimes treated as an <a href="/wiki/American_English#Morphology" title="American English">Americanism</a> insofar as the -ze suffix has crept into words where it did not originally belong, as with analyse (British English), which is spelt analyze in American English.<a href="#cite_note-89">[89]</a><a href="#cite_note-90">[90]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Reception_and_criticism">Reception and criticism</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Oxford_English_Dictionary&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: Reception and criticism">edit</a>]</div> British prime minister <a href="/wiki/Stanley_Baldwin" title="Stanley Baldwin">Stanley Baldwin</a> described the OED as a "national treasure".<a href="#cite_note-91">[91]</a> Author <a href="/wiki/Anu_Garg" title="Anu Garg">Anu Garg</a>, founder of Wordsmith.org, has called it a "lex icon".<a href="#cite_note-92">[92]</a> <a href="/wiki/Tim_Bray" title="Tim Bray">Tim Bray</a>, co-creator of Extensible Markup Language (<a href="/wiki/XML" title="XML">XML</a>), credits the OED as the developing inspiration of that <a href="/wiki/Markup_language" title="Markup language">markup language</a>.<a href="#cite_note-93">[93]</a> However, despite its claims of authority,<a href="#cite_note-OED_History-60">[60]</a> the dictionary has been criticized since the 1960s because of its scope, its claims to authority, its British-centredness and relative neglect of World Englishes,<a href="#cite_note-94">[94]</a> its implied but unacknowledged focus on literary language and, above all, its influence. The OED, as a commercial product, has always had to steer a line between scholarship and marketing. In his review of the 1982 supplement,<a href="#cite_note-95">[95]</a> University of Oxford linguist <a href="/wiki/Roy_Harris_(linguist)" title="Roy Harris (linguist)">Roy Harris</a> writes that criticizing the OED is extremely difficult because "one is dealing not just with a dictionary but with a national institution", one that "has become, like the English monarchy, virtually immune from criticism in principle". He further notes that neologisms from respected "literary" authors such as <a href="/wiki/Samuel_Beckett" title="Samuel Beckett">Samuel Beckett</a> and <a href="/wiki/Virginia_Woolf" title="Virginia Woolf">Virginia Woolf</a> are included, whereas usage of words in newspapers or other less "respectable" sources hold less sway, even though they may be commonly used. He writes that the OED's "[b]lack-and-white lexicography is also black-and-white in that it takes upon itself to pronounce authoritatively on the rights and wrongs of usage", faulting the dictionary's <a href="/wiki/Prescriptive_grammar" class="mw-redirect" title="Prescriptive grammar">prescriptive</a> rather than <a href="/wiki/Descriptive_grammar" class="mw-redirect" title="Descriptive grammar">descriptive</a> usage. To Harris, this prescriptive classification of certain usages as "erroneous" and the complete omission of various forms and usages cumulatively represent the "social bias[es]" of the (presumably well-educated and wealthy) compilers. However, the Guide to the Third Edition of the OED has stated that "Oxford English Dictionary is not an arbiter of proper usage, despite its widespread reputation to the contrary" and that the dictionary "is intended to be descriptive, not prescriptive".<a href="#cite_note-96">[96]</a> The identification of "erroneous and catachrestic" usages is being removed from third edition entries, sometimes in favour of usage notes describing the attitudes to language which have previously led to these classifications.<a href="#cite_note-Brewer2005-97">[97]</a> Another avenue of criticism is the dictionary's non-inclusion of <a href="/wiki/Etymology" title="Etymology">etymologies</a> for words of <a href="/wiki/AAVE" class="mw-redirect" title="AAVE">AAVE</a> or African language origin such as <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/jazz" class="extiw" title="wikt:jazz">jazz</a>, <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dig#Etymology_2" class="extiw" title="wikt:dig">dig</a> or <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/badmouth" class="extiw" title="wikt:badmouth">badmouth</a> (the latter two are possibly of <a href="/wiki/Wolof_language" title="Wolof language">Wolof</a> and <a href="/wiki/Mandinka_language" title="Mandinka language">Mandinka</a> languages, respectively).<a href="#cite_note-98">[98]</a><a href="#cite_note-99">[99]</a> As of 2022, OUP is preparing a specialized Oxford Dictionary of African American English in collaboration with <a href="/wiki/Harvard_University" title="Harvard University">Harvard University</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Hutchins_Center_for_African_and_African_American_Research" title="Hutchins Center for African and African American Research">Hutchins Center for African and African American Research</a>, with literary critic <a href="/wiki/Henry_Louis_Gates_Jr." title="Henry Louis Gates Jr.">Henry Louis Gates Jr.</a> being the project's editor-in-chief.<a href="#cite_note-100">[100]</a><a href="#cite_note-101">[101]</a> Harris also faults the editors' "donnish conservatism" and their adherence to prudish <a href="/wiki/Victorian_morals" class="mw-redirect" title="Victorian morals">Victorian morals</a>, citing as an example the non-inclusion of "various centuries-old '<a href="/wiki/Four-letter_words" class="mw-redirect" title="Four-letter words">four-letter words</a>'" until 1972.
