Australian Mini Oxford Dictionary (6th Edition)

Ages: Upper Secondary – Adult | Headwords: 22,000+

The Australian Mini Oxford Dictionary is the smallest member of the Oxford family of Australian dictionaries, and is written for those who need a compact guide to the spelling and meaning of words in the English language today.

The new edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect the ongoing work of the Australian National Dictionary Centre and Oxford Dictionaries. Many new words, phrases, and compounds have been added, while the existing entries have been extensively modified to reflect changes in both International and Australian English.

The dictionary provides many alternative spellings and includes helpful advice where there might be doubt about the formation or spelling of inflected forms; difficult plural forms of nouns and those inflections of verbs and comparative adjectives that are not wholly straightforward are spelt out in full. Assistance is given for those usages that may be disputed or controversial, and special usage notes are provided in cases that require more information or explanation.

This edition of the Australian Mini Oxford Dictionary has been supported by the resources of the Australian National Dictionary Centre.
