New words include cashpoint, dosh, glasnost, jojoba, ozone-friendly and sick building syndrome.

The treatment of sensitive and controversial vocabulary has been extensively reworked and increased, as has the scientific and technical vocabulary. Pronunciations are given in the standard International Phonetic Alphabet.
