The New Oxford American Dictionary is the most accurate and richly descriptive picture of American English ever offered in any dictionary. Oxford's American editors drew on its 200-million-word databank of contemporary North American English, plus the unrivaled citation files of the world-renowned Oxford English Dictionary. The result is an all-new and updated American dictionary, the crowning achievement in the Oxford line of American dictionaries and thesauruses.

To provide unprecedented clarity, the entries are organized around core meanings, reflecting the way people think about words and eliminating the clutter and confusion of a traditional dictionary entry. Each entry plainly shows the major meaning or meanings of the word, plus any related senses, arranged in intuitive constellations of connected meanings. Definitions are supplemented by illustrative, in-context examples of actual usage.

Now the authority of The New Oxford American Dictionary is available on your iPhone or iPod touch, accessible from anywhere.
