Australian Concise Oxford Dictionary, Sixth Edition

The Australian Concise Oxford Dictionary is the definitive compact reference for Australian English. Purposefully designed for Australian students, educators, and general users, it includes the most current and relevant language in use across the country today. No other dictionary of its size matches its authority or scope.

This sixth edition is the result of extensive research by the Australian National Dictionary Centre in Canberra—an internationally recognised leader in the study of Australian English. Editors Mark Gwynn and Amanda Laugesen have drawn from Oxford University Press’s global language database, the same source that powers the Oxford English Dictionary. They also utilised the largest citation database of Australian English, the foundation of the Australian National Dictionary (2nd ed., 2016).

A landmark in Australian lexicography, this edition offers:

Exceptional coverage of Australian English vocabulary, usage, etymology, and pronunciation

More than 99,000 headwords

Reliable, up-to-date content suited for school, home, and office use

A compact format without compromise on depth or accuracy

Ideal for secondary students, educators, and anyone needing a trustworthy Australian English reference.
