The brand-new second edition of The New Zealand Oxford Paperback Dictionary includes a wide range of distinctive New Zealand words and phrases, along with up-to-date coverage of the general, internationally shared English vocabulary. This large paperback dictionary offers all the benefits of a traditional dictionary, but also includes several thousand encyclopedic entries, including some thousands of New Zealand and international entries for notable people, places and events. Other features include panels which offer guidance on grammar, syntax, punctuation and disputed usage, and around 500 words of Maori origin, with special guidance notes on their pronunciation. New appendices contain New Zealand's National Anthems.
