The Oxford-Hachette French Dictionary: French-English, English-French

Product Information

Murray had estimated that the entire Dictionary would take ten years to complete. After five years, the first part (or fascicle to use the technical term) was issued in 1884. It covered A-ant which made clear that a much more comprehensive work was being produced than had been imagined by the Philological Society almost thirty years earlier. In fact, Dictionary work relied on so much correspondence that a post box was installed right outside Murray’s Oxford home, where it still stands today. A new authority on language

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 corpus linguistics. [86] 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 New Oxford American Dictionary, with the OED now only serving as the basis for scholarly historical dictionaries. The 125th and last fascicle covered words from Wise to the end of W and was published on 19 April 1928, and the full dictionary in bound volumes followed immediately. [19] :xx William Shakespeare is the most-quoted writer in the completed dictionary, with Hamlet his most-quoted work. George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans) is the most-quoted female writer. Collectively, the Bible is the most-quoted work (in many translations); the most-quoted single work is Cursor Mundi. [7]
