"This work is a replacement for the third edition of the Shorter Oxford English dictionary, but not a direct revision of its text. The New SOED editors returned to the Oxford English dictionary itself (in later stages the second edition of 1989, originally the first edition of 1884-1928 and its four-volume supplement of 1972-86), and reabridged, conflated, revised, restructured, added, and updated" -- Pref |
