About this product

Product Information

It is not just the meaning of a word but the feel of a word that counts. The end result when we wish to compile a list of these particular words is a dictionary that characterises us as a community. KATE GRENVILLE, international award-winning Australian author. The Macquarie Dictionary Seventh Edition -- Australia's National Dictionary is a comprehensive and up-to-date dictionary of Australian English. It covers words and meanings which are particular to our variety of English, as well as those common to the whole English-speaking world, with evidence sourced from corpus data. The Seventh Edition features thousands of new words and senses, such as grandcare, rumbler alarm, fitspiration, modest wear, cool burn, freecycle, grolar bear, digital tattoo, listicle, captain's call, robopoll, vamping, spiraliser and slackpacking. It also includes: * words and phrases from regional Australia * slang and colloquialisms * words from Aboriginal English * etymologies (word origins) * illustrative phrases, many from Australian literature, which clearly show how a word is used in context * valuable usage notes to clarify common language questions * a guide to punctuation * Foreword by Kate Grenville, international award-winning Australian author The Macquarie Dictionary -- Australia's National Dictionary was first published in 1981, and is now both nationally and internationally regarded as the standard reference on Australian English. To celebrate this seventh edition, each copy also comes with a free one-year subscription to the Macquarie Dictionary Online (www.macquariedictionary.com.au).

  • A very informative dictionary easy on the eye, and looks classy

    This is a very informative dictionary, great for lanauge based around 2020. I find the double book very easy to use. I dropped one star because the paper its printed on is cheap in my mind, not that it's any different than any of todays books as the paper quality is all poor for a book I hope to keep for 20 years. If comes in a beautiful box and looks very good on the shelf. I doubt you would find one of better quality. Educate yourself and make a purchase.

  • Stunning Look Stunning Book.

    This is a 6 Star rating, not 5. I thought all I was getting was a dictionary but I actually got a work of art and it is just so beautiful set of 2 books. It comes in a beautifully made and looking box and there are 2 books that are stunning to look at and it has all the words printed beautifully and boy, for less than $80.00 I find it amazing. Every home should have one. Forget computers and spell checker - just get one of these.

  • The Seductive power of words

    This is an excellent Dictionary; comprehensively compiled for any person who is interested in the Australian language, as it was intended. I enjoyed reading about the history of Governor Macquarie, in the foreward, which was written by Kate Grenville, & felt somewhat uncharacteristically patriotic, to realise how unique our Australian language actually is, relative to other world languages. It really is a ripper of a dictionary for all individuals to enjoy, for one can never underestimate the seductive power of an extensive vocabulary, as I an always fond of quoting.
