The correct answer is FALSE. An unabridged dictionary is not a dictionary that contains all the words in the English language, but rather, as opposed to an abridged one, a dictionary that is not a shortened version of another dictionary. According to Stockwell and Minkova, the unabridged dictionary is one that was compiled from scratch from its own citation files, with all definitions, meanings, and examples determined by their editors (179). The Oxford English Dictionary is considered to be the greatest of all unabridged dictionaries.
