Oxford English Dictionary (2nd Edition)
Published By:
The compact-disc edition of the Oxford English Dictionary (1989) is ideal for researchers and scholars in all disciplines, and for those who wish to investigate the Dictionary in very great detail.
The specially designed query language has boolean search capbilities, and offers all the search faciities needed and much more. Use this language to:
- combine types of search, e.g. etymology and quotation texts, or definition text and specific authors
- compile suites of search routines which can be saved, combined, and modified within the application.
- save and combine special results files
- run new searches across exising subsets extracting by previous searches
- sort results by date, quotation author, or title before outputting then to a plain text fille
- write specified parts of entries containing hits to text files (e.g. direct only the etymology text to an output file, even though the results were originally drawn from the whole entry)
- add comments to your query file or add results file, for example, to outline your own search stategy -- effectively logging your research
