Abstract

 Sixth Edition. Mark Gwynn & Amanda Laugesen. Oxford University Press, 2026. 695 pages. ISBN 9780190319335

The Australian Oxford Mini Dictionary is written for those who need a compact guide to the spelling and meaning of words in the English language today. This new sixth editon has been extensively revised in light of continuing changes in Australian and International English. Although the smallest of the Oxford range of dictionaries, the Australian Oxford Mini Dictionary contains many alternative spellings, and helpful usage notes provide assistance on the correct use of difficult or confusing words.
