牛津高阶学习词典:简称《牛津高阶》

  《牛津高阶》是历史悠久的字典,许多字典的标准是由它所建立,可以称为字典的大哥大。针对读者学习需求,不收古语、罕语,也不收字源。以国际音[IPA]为准,兼收英国音和美国英;英文定义简明;例句丰富;动词分及物和不及物,名词分可数和不可数。 

  ●特色一:语法强。《牛津高阶》有充沛的研究资源,语法研究很深入。 

  ●特色二:取材自丰富的语料库。《牛津高阶》的资料来自英国国家语料库、牛津美式英语语料库,还有《牛津英语词典[OED]》研究计划。 

  ◎问题:中规中矩,没有太多创新。

《牛津高阶学习词典》已经出到第7版了。

作为ESL词典的开山鼻祖,OALD确立了很多词典编写的标准,这些标准广泛的被其他出版社采用。OALD也一直把发行量第一作为广告来宣传自己。OALD的很多传统其他年轻的字典根本无法超越,比如传统意义上的语法,(不说syntax和collocation这些细小的地方),OALD用了很多插页来说明诸如如何写信之类的问题。

OALD坚持自己BrE特色!
Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary 在非英语系国家的身分与地位非常崇高,历史更是悠久。从一九四八年第一版上市以来,迄今已接近一甲子。早期陪伴台湾英文学习者一路走来的,除了梁实秋辞典之外,就是OALD了。 

学习型辞典(Learner’s Dictionary)的起源有著比较不一样的发展轨迹。回溯到一九三○、四○年代,几位英国学者如Harold E. Palmer, Michael West, A. S. Hornby等人在日本教授著英文。他们分别做了一些研究,尝试整理出一份基础字汇,或从字义上著手,或从功能上切入。意欲让这样一份字汇表就足够当基础,并据以定义描述大多数的英文字词。这有点像数学里的公设(axiom),也有点像是化学里的周期表(periodic table)。都有当作基础的目的,从而扩充延伸并推演出完整的体系。

对学习英文的人而言,只要学会了这一群字汇,自然可以自己使用单语辞典(也就是英英辞典),衔接上自学的道路,然後一路顺利前进。基於这样的思维与用心,他们的努力付出产生了许多影响深远的研究成果。如一九三六年出现的 The Interim Report on Vocabulary Selection,以及Michael West在一九五三年整理出来的A General Service List of English Words。後者这份 General Service List 至今还有人持续研究更新。

就在这样的研究氛围里,Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary於焉诞生。数十年来,OALD享有极高的地位,Hornby在学习辞典里的声望几乎与母语人士辞典当中的Webster齐名。

直到一九七八年, 《朗文当代英语词典》Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English的出现,条理井然的编辑方式,以及以二千个字为基础定义整本辞典的收录词汇。这才对逐渐发展得冗芜庞杂的OALD产生威胁。 


OALD现在想要藉由第七版重建过去的声望,除了LDOCE之外,环伺的强敌还有 《麦克米兰英语词典》Macmillan English Dictionary(以下简称MED)、 《剑桥高阶学习词典》Cambridge Advanced Learner’s Dictionary (以下简称 CALD),以及《柯林斯高级英语学习词典》Collins Cobuild等等。
