The ''Australian Oxford Dictionary'', sometimes abbreviated as ''AOD'', is a dictionary of Australian English published by Oxford University Press.〔Warden, Ian "Some Balltearers For The Scrabble Board" 27 October 1999 Canberra Times P7〕 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 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.〔Lockwood, Kim. "A New Aussie Monolith" 27 October 1999 Herald Sun p 31〕 It is a joint effort of Oxford University and the Australian National University.〔"Reading between the lines". 28 October 1999 The Advertiser p 19〕 The ''AOD''s current editor is Bruce Moore. Its content is largely sourced from 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.〔(Australian Oxford Dictionary, Oxford University Press web site )〕 == References == 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Australian Oxford Dictionary」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
