From the new generation of quick-reference CD-ROMs, featuring the cutting-edge iFinger Pop-up feature in Internet Explorer, and the easiest-ever access to electronic dictionaries in Windows, The Oxford World English Dictionary Shelf offers truly instantaneous access to the four flagship English Dictionaries published by Oxford University Press. This unrivalled suite of dictionaries will allow users to compare same word definitions and usage across the four main English-speaking cultures, providing a fascinating insight into the way the different World Englishes have developed according to their environment and culture. Users will also be able to trace the meanings of words unique to a particular country, region or ethnic group, and trace the origin of an unknown word, or sense of a word to its natural roots. The World English CD-ROM contains: The New Oxford Dictionary of English (1998) with 350,000 words, phrases, and definitions, is Oxford's most comprehensive single-volume dictionary, offering unrivalled coverage of current English. The New Oxford American Dictionary (2001) is the brand-new and most up-to-date, accurate and richly descriptive coverage of American English ever published. The Canadian Oxford Dictionary (1998) with 130,000 entries is the highly-successful foremost authority on current Canadian English, and contains over 2,000 distinctly Candian words covering every region of the country. The Australian Oxford Dictionary (2000) is a remarkable work drawn from the largest database of Australian English in the world - the World Bank of Australian English - a fantastic record of the nation's history and culture.
