内容説明
Throughout the twentieth century， The Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors and Hart’s Rules grew to be indispensable sources for all those who deal with the written word. Now， for the first time， The Oxford Style Manual combines in one volume these two classic reference books in their latest forms: the second edition of The Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors， and The Oxford Guide to Style - the new Hart’s Rules. Together they offer unrivalled guidance on words and how to treat them. The first part of The Oxford Style Manual contains 16 topic-based chapters of help on every aspect of words in print. The text is full of explanations， examples， and lists for quick reference: abbreviations， capitalization， punctuation， scientific and mathematical symbols are all covered in full. It gives clear advice on how to treat quotations， illustrations， tables， notes and references， specialist subjects， and indexes， as well as exhaustive information on foreign languages. There is also information on recent issues such as citing electronic media， submitting material for online publication， and current copyright law. The second part of the Manual consists of short alphabetical entries that provide easy-to-follow guidance on specific writing conundrums， including common spelling difficulties (hairdryer or hairdrier?); queries on hyphenation and punctuation (brothers-in-law or brother-in-laws?); confusables (impassible or impassable?); differences between British and American English (pyjamas/pajamas); and difficult or unusual terms. The Oxford Style Manual really is the ultimate guide for all book， magazine， and Internet publishers on preparing and presenting the written word.

The Oxford Style Manual is gloriously thorough double whammy of a book that unites the famous Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors and the Oxford Guide to Style (once known as Hart’s Rules) for the first time. If you don’t know the en or em rules or how to use your solidus or vertical (aka--a standard abbreviation which needs no punctuation--as a forward slash) then this is your chance to find out. And what happens when you need to write a foreign word--perhaps Polish， Urdu or Icelandic--but you don’t know what the accents are called， let alone where to find them on your computer? Oxford Style Manual is strong on diacritics-- signs and symbols on， or near， letters. There’s helpful advice about foreign names too: ?To call Calais callis would be obscurantist， to call Munich Munchen exhibitionist?. The vexed laws， conventions and effects of copyright and the stylistic mysteries of special subjects from music to Jewish scriptures are all meticulously detailed in Oxford Style Manual’s first sixteen chapters. The second half is an alphabetical listing: eccentric dictionary cum mini-encyclopaedia crossed with an authoritative account of written dos and don’ts (neither of which needs an apostrophe). Thus you learn that a diglot is a book containing text in two languages， a bequerel is a unit of radioactivity and school-leaving age needs a hyphen whereas sleeping bag does not. It’s a dream book for wordoholics and pedants to browse in and a valuable useful reference work for those who just want to get things right whether they work in the print media or not.--Susan Elkin
