the Idiomatic and Syntactic English Dictionary (ISED), the world's first fully-fledged English-English dictionary for English language learners. ISED was edited by A. S. Hornby and others, who were invited from the United Kingdom to engage in English education in Japan, and was published by Kaitakusha in 1942. 2022 marked the 80th anniversary of the ISED. During that time, as English was established as the international language of communication, the rivalry between different publishers has, together with the development of (applied) linguistics and lexicography, contributed to the ongoing evolution of monolingual dictionaries for language learners. Since the mid-1990s, the quality of information has improved, and monolingual dictionaries have become easier to use. The key concepts are “corpus basis” and “user-friendliness”. To appreciate what kinds of changes have occurred, let's compare the entries of acknowledge in the 4th edition (1989) and the 10th edition (2020) of OALD. With clear definitions and over 140 000 words, phrases, meanings, and examples, plus hundreds of pictures and illustrations, this Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary is perfect as a reference tool and as a study companion. English Vocabulary Profile correlation also shows which words and meanings are known by learners at what level, so you can prioritize your vocabulary learning. Learner error information shows the most common errors made by learners of English, so that you can avoid making the same mistakes. Up-to-date vocabulary includes words from the areas of technology, media, language, society, and lifestyle, plus important words for academic study.
