Oxford Dictionary is the general name of all kinds of English dictionaries published by Oxford University Press, and it is the representative of English language dictionaries. The Oxford Dictionary has 20 volumes, and its existence is more symbolic, symbolizing the infinite pursuit of knowledge by human beings.
Oxford concise:
Concise Oxford Dictionary was originally named Concise Oxford Dictionary. According to the dictionary's own interpretation, conciseness means short but comprehensive expression, meaning "concise, rich or comprehensive content". In fact, any dictionary is inevitably "concise and unclear". Actually, as long as you use it skillfully, many people can understand it. In addition to short explanations, The Concise Oxford Dictionary omits the explanations of uncommon words in order to save space as much as possible.
Based on the Oxford English Dictionary (20-volume set), a series of small and medium-sized dictionaries, the new and shorter Oxford English Dictionary (2-volume set), the concise Oxford Contemporary English Dictionary, the pocket Oxford Dictionary and the small Oxford Dictionary, and the Oxford Advanced Learning Dictionary, the concise Oxford Dictionary is the most prominent.
Although it is a medium-sized dictionary-and it is still small: The Concise Oxford Dictionary (7th edition, 1982) has only 40,000 entries, including 74,000 words of derivatives and compounds, and the length is only Webster's Dictionary (1983).
