By Trish on January 18, 2011
The online version of the Oxford English Dictionary has a new design and new functionality. In December the OED Online website was relaunched featuring a new look, the addition of the Historical Thesaurus to the OED, and links to other online resources including the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.
The OED is a historical dictionary where you’ll find the history of individual words, and of the language—traced through 3 million quotations, from classic literature and specialist periodicals to films scripts and cookery books. Read more about the new OED online here.
