New Oxford Dictionary of English

The New Oxford Dictionary of English is a dictionary published by the [Oxford University Press]?.

This dictionary not based on the Oxford English Dictionary and should not be mistaken for a new or updated version of the OED.

It is a completely new dictionary which strives to represent as faithfully as possible the current usage of English words and the editor, [Judy Pearsall]?, claims it is based on modern understanding of language. This makes it quite a controversial dictionary amongst lexicographer?s.

It was first published in 1998.

Often abbreviated to NODE.
