The Australian National Dictionary
''The Australian National Dictionary: A Dictionary of Australianisms on Historical Principles'' is the historical dictionary of Australian English, recording over 6,000 English words and phrases of Australian origin and use. The first edition was edited by Bill Ramson and published by Oxford University Press in 1988. a second edition was in progress.
==History==
The first lexicographer to attempt a systematic documentation of Australian English words was Edward E Morris whose ''Austral English'' was published in 1898.〔Wykes, Olive (1974). "(Morris, Edward Ellis (1843–1902) )". ''Australian Dictionary of Biography''. National Centre of Biography, Australian National University〕 The next significant works on Australian words were Sidney Baker’s ''The Australian Language'' (1945) and GA Wilke’s ''Dictionary of Australian Colloquialisms'' published in 1978. The first general dictionary of Australian English that did not label Australian words specifically was Grahame Johnston’s ''Australian Pocket Oxford Dictionary'' (1976) and the ''Heinemann Australian Dictionary'' (1976). Five years later, the ''Macquarie Dictionary'' (1981) was published, based on the American Hamlyn’s ''Encyclopedic World Dictionary'' (1971), which in turn was based on the ''American College Dictionary'' (1947).
Work on the ''Australian National Dictionary'' was motivated by a lack of lexicographic work on Australian English on strictly historical principles, in the tradition of the ''Oxford English Dictionary''. With the collaboration of Oxford University Press – publisher of the ''Oxford English Dictionary'' – the ''Australian National Dictionary'' was begun by William (Bill) Ramson in 1978 and published ten years later in 1988 to coincide with the bicentenary of Australia’s settlement. It was the first comprehensive, historically based record of the 6,000 words and idioms that make up the Australian contribution to the English language. It records the historical development of Australian words and phrases, from their earliest use to the present day, providing evidence of this history in some 60,000 dated and referenced quotations drawn from over 9,000 Australian sources. The trials and tribulations of this process are outlined in Ramson’s book ''Lexical Images'' (OUP, 2005).
