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. |
