Publications

The Australian National Dictionary

The Centre's most important publication, the AND is a comprehensive record of the Australian language as it has developed from colonial times to the present.

Oxford Dictionaries

The Centre produces many Oxford Dictionaries, including The Australian Oxford Dictionary, The Australian Concise Oxford Dictionary, and The Australian Oxford Mini Dictionary.

Lexical Monographs

As well as producing standard dictionaries, the Centre also produces a range of specialised studies in aspects of Australian English. These include regional dictionaries that study the language of Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, and Western Australia, and historical studies that look at the language of gold rushes and the convict era.

Aussie English for Beginners

A three volume series published by the National Museum of Australia which takes a light-hearted look at the rich and distinct vocabulary of Australian English, with definitions provided by the Australian National Dictionary Centre and cartoons by David Pope. The series is based on a display in the Nation: Symbols of Australia gallery at the National Museum of Australia.
