The Australian Oxford Dictionary , sometimes abbreviated as AOD , is a dictionary of Australian English published by Oxford University Press .
3-437: The AOD combines elements of the previous Oxford publication, The Australian National Dictionary (sometimes abbreviated as AND ), which was a comprehensive, historically based record of 10,000 words and phrases representing Australia's contribution to English . However, The Australian National Dictionary was not a full dictionary, and could not be used as one in the normal sense. The AOD borrowed its scholarship both from
6-721: The AND and from The Oxford English Dictionary , and competed with the Macquarie Dictionary when it was released in 1999. Like the Macquarie , the AOD combines elements of a normal dictionary with those of an encyclopaedic volume. It is a joint effort of Oxford University and the Australian National University . The AOD ' s current editor is Bruce Moore. Its content is largely sourced from
9-884: The databases of Australian English at the Australian National Dictionary Centre and The Oxford English Dictionary . It also draws on the latest research into International English . The second edition contains more than 110,000 headwords and more than 10,000 encyclopaedic entries. In addition to the flagship Australian Oxford Dictionary, shorter versions including the Australian Concise Oxford Dictionary , Australian Paperback Oxford Dictionary , Australian School Oxford Dictionary , Australian Students Oxford Dictionary and Australian School Oxford Dictionary are also published.
