Merriam-Webster is America's foremost publisher of language-related reference works. The company publishes a diverse array of print and electronic products, including Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition – America's best-selling desk dictionary – and Webster's Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged. Merriam-Webster can be considered the direct lexicographical heir of Noah Webster. In 1843, the company bought the rights to the 1841 edition of Webster's magnum opus, An American Dictionary of the English Language, Corrected and Enlarged. At the same time, they secured the rights to create revised editions of the work. Since that time, Merriam-Webster editors have carried forward Noah Webster's work, creating some of the most widely used and respected dictionaries and reference books in the world.
《Merriarn-Webster Dictionary》 is the sixth in a line of Merriam-Webster paperback dictionaries which began in 1947. It is based on and preserves the best aspects of preceding editions, but it also offers much that is new, drawing specifically on Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition. Every entry and every section has been reexamined and revised in light of the most current information available. Definitions have been based on examples of actual use found in the Merriam-Webster citation files, which now contain more than 15,000,000 examples of English words in context from a wide range of printed sources, and more than 70 million words available through electronic searching. The editors of this book have created it with the same careful, serious attention that has gone into every 《Merriam-Webster dictionary》
