Introduction to the Dictionaries Oxford English Minidictionary Introduction The sixth edition of the Oxford Minidictionary belongs to the family of dictionaries based on the Oxford Dictionary of English. It aims to provide up-to-date, compact coverage of the core vocabulary of current English in a highly portable format. Definitions are written in a clear and accessible style using straightforward language, with the most common meanings of words placed first. A fresh, open layout and design makes the dictionary especially easy to use. Special notes throughout the text give extra help and guidance on difficult spellings, words that are easily confused with each other, and tricky points of usage. Pronunciations are given for words which might cause problems, using a simple respelling system. The Oxford Minidictionary is an ideal quick-reference text for anyone requiring an informative, robust, and user-friendly guide to the English language of today. 61
