The australian pocket oxford dictionary 5th edition

Offering a wide variety of distinctively New Zealand words in current use, as well as the general vocabulary that New Zealand shares with other English-speaking countries, The New Zealand Pocket Oxford Dictionary is the most ambitious treatment of New Zealand English published thus far. Its more than 50, entries include sections in both English and Maori, and make extensive use of illustrative phrases to show precisely how New Zealand words are used.

Australian Primary Oxford Dictionary is an essential reference for Australian Upper Primary students with appendix words that identify core words in key learning areas. This is an Australian dictionary for adults, with updated content, including new and revised headwords and phrases based on the latest research of the Australian National Dictionary Centre. The fifteen chapters in the book are the papers from a conference held at the Australian National University October Other issues covered include: the relationships between English and other official languages, the relationships between English and indigenous languages, language and national identity, the history of recording regional Englishes in dictionaries, and the role of British and American English as 'linguistic imperialists'.

This unique work challenges the assumption that dictionaries act as objective records of our language, and instead argues that the English dictionary is a fundamentally ethnocentric work. Using theoretical, historical and empirical analyses, Phil Benson shows how English dictionaries have filtered knowledge through predominantly Anglo-American perspectives.
