The Canadian Oxford Compact Dictionary |
| Based on the critically-acclaimed best-selling Canadian Oxford
Dictionary, The Canadian Oxford Compact Dictionaryoffers all the
authority of Oxford's flagship Canadian dictionary in a handy yet durable
format. With 80,000 entries, it features over 1,800 uniquely Canadian words and senses. Definitions, worded for each of comprehension, are presented so the meaning most familiar to Canadians appears first and foremost. Each of these entries is exceptionally reliable, the result of thorough research into the language and Oxford's unparalleled language resources. Throughout, it offers usage notes explaining confusing or controversial points of grammar and usage, and over 15,000 illustrative examples show words used in context. Pronunciations are given for difficult words, words with more than one possible pronunciation, and words with a distinctly Canadian pronunciation. In addition, appendices cover punctuation and capitalization, weights and measures, the history of the English language, and time zones. |
