The dictionary's contents encompass the full range of New Zealandisms, drawn from a wide variety of domains and areas of New Zealand life, and including items both current anddisused, contemporary and historical in reference, colloquial and non-colloquial in style, and borrowed and internally sourced in origin.The Oxford Dictionary of New Zealandisms is the first to represent the entire spectrum of New Zealand English vocabulary since the publication of the late Harry Orsman's monumental Dictionary of New Zealand English in 1997.

Book Description
The Dictionary of New Zealand English provides a unique historical record of New Zealand words and phrases from their earliest use to the present day. Its 6,000 main headword entries and 9,300 separate subentries provide fascinating insights into New Zealand's diverse linguistic heritage. Coverage includes words and phrases originating from New Zealand such as chateau cardboard, dog-dosing, glide time, judder bar, nappy valley, and peggy square, which reflect a lively local penchant forinnovation, while others such as biddy-bid and taihoa illustrate the unique influence of the Maori language. Many of the entries such as hotel, rabbit-proof, and remittance man have a particular meaning in New Zealand, or have special historical significance. Other examples such as yacker merely confirm New Zealand's special relationship with Australia.
