Abstract :

The vocabularies of dictionaries have changed in each edition. Similarly, changes have also happened to OALD which is known as one of the most popular monolingual learner’s dictionaries. This study is intended to find out the entries from OALD5 that disappear in OALD8 and the entries from OALD8 that come into OALD8. It also aims to investigate why the the entries from OALD5 are excluded in OALD8 and why the entries from OALD8 are included in OALD8. The data of this study are taken from OALD5 and OALD8 focusing on S entry and analyzed by using qualitative approach. The result of this study shows that there are 14 entries found from S entry of OALD5 and 559 entries found from S entry of OALD8. It is found that the entries enter the language through nine of word formation processes such as derivation, compound, blend, acronym, abbreviation, clipping, eponym, back-formation, and loanword in which loanword is the most dominant process. Additionally, the main exclusion and inclusion of entries in both editions are the frequency of entries in corpora of English.
