The goal of the project is to enhance the database of the Oxford Dictionary of English (a forthcoming new edition of the 1998 New Oxford Dictionary of English) so that it contains not only the original dictionary content but also additional sets of data formalizing, codifying, and supplementing this content. This will allow the dictionary to be exploited effectively as a resource for computational applications. The Oxford Dictionary of English (ODE) is a high-level dictionary intended for fluent English speakers (especially native speakers) rather than for learners.

It considers some of the issues involved in deriving formal lexical data from a natural-language dictionary. 1 Introduction The goal of the project is to enhance the database of the Oxford Dictionary of English a forthcoming new edition of the 1998 New Oxford Dictionary of English so that it contains not only the original dictionary content but also additional sets of data formalizing codifying and supplementing this content. This will allow the dictionary to be exploited effectively as a resource for computational applications. The Oxford Dictionary of English ODE is a high-level dictionary intended for fluent English speakers especially native speakers rather than for learners. Hence its coverage is very extensive and definitional detail is very rich. By the same token however a certain level of knowledge is assumed on the part of the reader so not everything is spelled out explicitly. For example ODE frequently omits morphology and variation which is either regular or inferable from related words. Entry structure and defining style while mostly conforming broadly to a small set of basic patterns and formulae may often be more concerned with detail and accuracy than with simplicity of explanation. Such features make the ODE content relatively difficult to convert into comprehensive and formalized data. Nevertheless the richness of the ODE text particularly in the frequent use of example sentences provides a wealth of cues and clues which can help to control the generation of more formal lexical data. A basic principle of this work is that the enhanced data should always be predicated on the original dictionary content and not the other way round. There has been no attempt to alter the .
