Features: The first edition of The Oxford Standard English Dictionary was published in 1906. It was revised twice and the third edition was released in 1930. Since then, it has been reprinted continuously. The dictionary conducts both precise and extensive research on written English. The dictionary is divided into two parts. The first part discusses nearly a hundred issues under four major headings: vocabulary, syntax, embellishment, and punctuation; the second part addresses headings such as phonetics, citations, grammar, meaning, ambiguity, and style.
