The New Oxford American Dictionary (NOAD) is a single-volume dictionary of American English compiled by American editors at the Oxford University Press. NOAD is based upon the New Oxford Dictionary of English (NODE), published in the United Kingdom in 1998, although with substantial editing, additional entries, and the inclusion of illustrations.
It is based on a corpus linguistics analysis of Oxford's 200 million word database of contemporary American English. NOAD includes a diacritical respelling scheme to convey pronunciations, as opposed to the Gimson phonemic IPA system that is used in NODE. ==Editions== ===First edition=== Published in September 2001, the first edition was edited by Elizabeth J.
