"Every day we collect thousands of examples of words in order to monitor English as it is being used by everyone, everywhere, every day. This body of language forms the Oxford English Corpus, a unique electronic database that makes it possible for us to see exactly how English is developing and to discover exciting facts about our language." "Now containing more than a billion words, the Oxford English Corpus gives us the most up-to-date information available about how words and meanings are changing - and means that Oxford dictionaries offer the fullest, most accurate picture of the English language today."--BOOK JACKET.
