Abstrakt
The Oxford English Dictionary as it exists today is the end product of more than a century and a half of collective effort by thousands of people. This presentation tells the story of this project, from the earliest ideas about a comprehensive historical dictionary of English in the middle of the nineteenth century, to the creation of the twelve volumes of the first edition in 1884–1928, the appearance of the second edition in 1989, the transformation of the paper dictionary into electronic form, and on to the great research project which is revising the dictionary today. It will look at the resources and techniques used to compile and revise dictionary entries, and how the transformation of the dictionary into an online database has transformed the ways in which it may be used. Finally, it will briefly consider future developments.
